•For the freshest flavor, this avocado dessert is best enjoyed the same day it’s made, as the avocado can start to oxidize. However, you can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1-2 days.
•If you prefer not to use ice, try blending the avocado with the condensed milk to create a creamy dessert smoothie, or mash it finely in a bowl and chill. Another fun option is to pour the blended mixture into popsicle molds for tasty avocado popsicles!
