Notes

Make sure to use ripe avocados for the best texture. Adjust the sweetener according to your taste; agave nectar is a good vegan option. Store leftovers in an airtight container; it lasts for up to 2 days in the fridge. Consider serving with fresh berries, nuts, or a sprinkle of sea salt to elevate the dessert.
