Creme de Abacate ( Avocado Cream )

avocado creamAvocado cream is a great dessert made from the simplest ingredients. The first time that I had this dessert was in Belo Horizonte in Brazil's Minas Gerais state. It is mildly sweet in flavor. In addition to being a great finish to a meal, it is also great baby food sans the port of course.

Ingredients:
3 avocadosavocados
juice of 1 lime
1/2 cup sugar
pinch of sea salt
6 tbsp milk
2 tbsp port wine (optional)

Preparation:
  1. Cut the avocados in half and remove the seeds.
  2. In a large bowl, scoop out the flesh of the avocados and chop it into medium size pieces.
  3. Cover the avocado with the sugar and the lime juice.
  4. Chill for 20 minutes.
  5. Put the avocado, milk, and salt into a food processor and blend until the mixture is smooth.
  6. Pass the mixture through a sieve. You will need to press it through the mesh using the back of a spoon.
  7. Stir the port into the mixture (if you choose to use it) and distribute it in dessert glasses.
  8. Chill for at least an hour before serving.
