5 Creamy & Luscious Avocado Desserts

We’re just going to say it: You’re probably not harnessing the full potential of your avocados. For starters, did you know you could be using the pit to make super-creamy smoothies? Or that avocado has powerful potential as a dessert ingredient? Its smooth texture adds a creamy lusciousness to ice creams, cakes, pies, and puddings. While it’s lovely enough to shine as its own dessert flavor, it also has the ability to fade into the background. You know, so you won’t feel like you want to dip tortilla chips into your avocado dessert.

Ned proof? Try any one of these avocado dessert recipes. We guarantee you’ll find a new healthier sweet staple.

3. Avocado Ice Candy from Healthy World Cuisine

Ice candy isn’t crunchy, if that’s what you’re thinking. It’s actually a soft frozen dessert that’s popular in the Philippines and usually eaten like an ice pop. And all you need to make your own are three ingredients: avocado, your preferred milk, and a sweetener of choice.

Here’s an idea we can get behind: an energy boost that impersonates a chocolate milkshake. Just half an avocado, one banana and a handful of other ingredients yield two smoothies.
