I had this dessert last week at a Chinese Restaurant. And oh my, never did I know avocado could taste so good as a dessert!!
Although this tiny fruit is know to be packed with essential nutrients our body needs, Avocado had never been an ingredient in my kitchen. It would be a challenge to gain my children's fancy because it is a rather tasteless fruit that is too rich in taste.
Relying on my loyal taste buds, I replicated this dessert yesterday.
My whole family simply loves it!! The buttery-creamy texture of the avocado goes really well with the coconut cream, giving the dessert a silky smooth texture. A scoop of vanilla ice-cream on top adds to a right amount of sweetness too.
While the fruit is still in season now, try the recipe and enjoy the goodness of this wholesome fruit today!
Nutritional Facts of Avocado:
- Avocados provide nearly 20 essential nutrients our body needs, including fiber, potassium, Vitamin E, B-vitamins and folic acid.
- They also act as a "nutrient booster" by enabling the body to absorb more fat-soluble nutrients, such as alpha and beta-carotene and lutein, in foods that are eaten with the fruit.
- Avocados can also help reduce blood cholesterol levels and risks of Cardiovascular disease because it contains both monosaturated and polyunsaturated fat, the 'good' fats we need.
