Looking for a different way to eat avocados? Do what the Brazilians do! In Brazil, they make delicious ice creams and creamy desserts out of them. This is a good opportunity to try some of the lighter avocados mentioned above. In Brazil the fruit are huge, so when selecting large avocados for the recipe THINK LARGE. This recipe comes from Maria’s cookbook www.maria-brazil.org.
