Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Select two fully ripe avocados that are soft to gentle pressure but not overripe or brown inside.
- Wash the avocados thoroughly under cool running water to remove any surface dirt or debris.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the avocados in half lengthwise by rotating the knife around the pit.
- Remove the pit by gently tapping the knife into it and twisting, or using a spoon to scoop it out.
- Scoop the ripe avocado flesh into a clean mixing bowl using a large spoon, ensuring no brown spots are included.
- Add fresh lime juice to prevent browning and enhance the flavor profile of the puree.
- Drizzle honey over the avocado flesh to introduce a subtle sweetness.
- Sprinkle a small pinch of salt to balance and elevate the overall taste.
- Using a fork or immersion blender, mash and blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or lime juice if needed, ensuring a balanced flavor.
- Transfer the puree to a serving bowl and serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap directly touching the surface to prevent oxidation.
Tips
- Avocado Selection is Key: Choose avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure but aren't mushy. The perfect ripeness ensures a creamy texture without bitterness.
- Prevent Browning: The lime juice isn't just for flavor - it's your natural preservation trick that keeps the puree looking fresh and vibrant.
- Customize Your Sweetness: Adjust the honey to your preference. For a more health-conscious version, try using agave nectar or a sugar-free alternative.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve chilled as a dessert, use as a fruit dip, or even as a unique spread on toast for a gourmet breakfast experience.
- Storage Hack: If not serving immediately, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the puree to minimize oxidation and maintain its beautiful green color.
