Looking for an avocado dessert? We’ve got a broad range of recipe options!
Avocados are an obsession. Well, at least for some of you. The fruit is so popular in the United States that demand has spurred all kinds of conflict in Mexico, the source of 80% of avocado production for the red, white, and blue.
When I think of avocados I think of my daughter, who’s at the stage where her taste buds are fickle but fruit is nearly always a sure bet — especially avocado. She’ll eat it straight and by the fistful, or slam spoonfuls of guacamole into her mouth.
Kind of like you, I bet.
My generation made avocado toast famous, and you can rag on it all you want, but I’ve never had a piece I didn’t like. Whether it serves like a stripped down bagel with cream cheese and lox (instead being some sort of slice of multigrain bread, avocado lather, and smoked salmon) or topped with tomato and a little cheese, I’m interested.
But to be totally honest, I hadn’t given avocado much thought as a dessert ingredient until today. When I realized that some folks have been putting it in their sweets — especially paired with chocolate, it seems — for years.
So I dug into the Food Fanatic archives and pulled out a double-digit number of avocado dessert ideas for you to try. We’ve got brownies, cupcakes, bread, truffles, cookies, cake… honestly if you can’t find something appealing here, my money says you don’t actually like avocado at all.
The real question is, which one will you make first?
