I was asked to host a party for a few bloggers trying out different recipes with avocados and post them. I’ll tell you more about that later this week, but for now I wanted to share the recipes. This recipe my husband totally made up by himself. He said “what if you made a dessert guacamole with avocado, cream cheese, pears, dried apricots, and lime juice?” So I took the challenge and tried it. He said he actually REALLY liked it, but he thinks the apricots need to finely chopped. Apparently I didn’t chop them small enough for him.
Pear and Apricot Sweet Dessert Guacamole
Ingredients
- 1 large avocado
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 pear finely chopped
- handful of dried apricots
Instructions
-
Add avocado and cream cheese to your stand mixer bowl and blend until smooth.
-
Add in finely chopped pears and apricots.
-
Chill for at least an hour.
-
Serve with graham crackers. My husband also liked the dip with tortilla chips, he liked the sweet and salty combination.
I am not sure I could stomach this one, but my husband says it sounds good!
what an intersting recipe. I do love avocado’s. Never thought to use it in a dessert. I would be willing to give this a try though
sounds interesting!
I would never have tought to put an avacado and a fruit together at all but this sounds good and I bet it isnt terribly bad for you!
