Equipment
- square pan
Ingredients
- 4 large avocados
- lemon juice
- 1 can (14 ounces) condensed milk
- 2 cups heavy cream very cold
- 19 pieces graham crackers
- graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
- Spray an 8 x 8 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and line with parchment paper, leaving about a 1-inch overhang on all sides. Set aside.
- Cut the avocados in half and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Remove the pits and discard them with the peels. Cut the two avocados into cubes, then drizzle with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- In a food processor or blender, combine the remaining two avocados and condensed milk. Pulse a few times until smooth.
- In a large chilled bowl, place the heavy cream and whip with a hand mixer to stiff peaks. Gently fold in the pureed avocados, ensuring the whipped cream does not deflate. Fold in the diced avocados.
- Arrange one layer of graham crackers on the bottom of the prepared dish. Spoon ⅓ of the cream mixture on crackers and spread to cover. Arrange another layer of graham crackers over the cream. Spoon and spread ⅓ of the cream mixture. Repeat with another layer of graham crackers. Spoon and spread the remaining ⅓ of the cream mixture over the crackers. Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs on top.
- Cover the dish tightly with plastic film and freeze for about 4 to 5 hours until firm.
- To serve, lift the cake from the pan using the parchment paper overhang as support, then transfer it to a serving platter. Cut into serving portions.
Notes
Keep the avocado pieces completely encased in the cream mixture to prevent exposure to air and thus, browning from the oxidation.
