LOL - sounds delicious, sounds a little south of the border, down Mexico way - but from the SkinnyChef ??  with avocado/chocolate/brown sugar  

I must be on the wrong sort of diet. At least there is fruit in it !!

This is also very good with a shot of espresso coffee in it, to replace the cocoa.  High octane fuel for a busy day!

interesting.....

Hmm, not sure about this.
is it a Queensland thing!?

Not strange  -  supposed to be a Vietnamese regular, but like lots of food combining - eg peppers and tomatoes, fennel and oranges - things that live in the same environment often go together.

Chocolate and avocadoes are from Mexico.

Try some truffles - http://whatscookingamerica.net/Candy/AvocadoChocTruffles.htm

Definitely going to try those truffles TMX Queen!  )

I've tried this, and is really addictive! There is an Indonesian dessert, which uses coconut milk and palm sugar instead, and no chocolate. Not as healthly, but absolutely to die for!

I've been wanting to try this recipe ever since I first found this forum and today was the day as I had the main ingredient - 1/2 an avocado.  I found it to be too thick so I added another 200mls milk which made a delicious drink, still thick but more drinkable. DH doesn't like avocado but liked this so is a good way to get some avocado into his diet. I will be buying it now just to make this drink rather than waiting for leftovers.  I also added some frozen banana and ice as suggested, maybe that is why it was too thick in the first instance.

Not sure how this may go with DH - but thought that you may have overlooked it (I know you have checked out ALL the posts!!

Thanks for thinking of us Thermomixer but DH doesn't like lemon, glace fruit, marmalade or avocado.  Got away with avocado in the drink but too many items he doesn't like in this ice-cream and you know who would end up having to eat it. Sounds interesting though, have you made it?

[Thermomixer]

No, always forget about it until after the avocadoes have been eaten - damn

[Nay-nay]

Got given a bag full of ripe avos - so went looking on here to see what i could do with them. Well i've never heard off it but gave it ago. just sipping on it now. DELISH!!!! if I had all the ingredients i would try the ice-cream too

[Thermomixer]
