Details
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Ready in: 75 minutes
Serves: 6
Method
Peel and pit avocados.
Place avocado, sugar and lime juice in a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Add just enough milk to give mixture a creamy, pudding like consistency.
Spoon mixture into six dessert dishes or sundae glasses. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour and serve cold.
*Look for avocados that are slightly soft but not mushy. If avocados are too hard to use, let them sit on a shelf or countertop for a few days until they soften. To peel and pit an avocado, carefully use a sharp knife to cut the avocado in half lengthwise, cutting around the pit. Gently twist the two halves apart and use your fingers or a spoon to remove and discard the pit. Use a spoon to scoop the avocado out of the peel.
