Avocado Crème Brûlée

Avocado Crème Brûlée

It is time again for the “Secret recipe club” reveal!  I am sure you all know what the club is about, but for the few of you who still don’t know about it, here goes a brief explanation.  It is a great concept… each month you are assigned a participating food blogger to make a recipe from and in turn someone else will be assigned your blog.  All you have to do is choose a recipe, make it and blog about it on the specified date.  The only rule is to keep it a secret!  If you are interested in learning more, or want to join the club, please visit the Secret recipe club website.
This month’s assignment was another great discovery for me, as it was the beautiful Because I Like Chocolate written by the very talented Mallory.  Mallory lives in Canada and she is a Psychology student (though she used to study at culinary school and you can tell, just by browsing through her site)!  As Mallory says, “Because I Like Chocolate is about baking, eating and learning to accept food one bite at a time”.  I love her mission!  Just as much as I loved the recipe I cooked from her blog.  After making an amazing avocado based Chocolate Mousse, I knew I had to try using avocado in desserts again!  And this recipe gave me the right opportunity.  This time, I went into it without any reservations and my expectations were not disappointed.  This Avocado Crème Brûlée tastes delicious.  It is just as creamy as a regular Crème Brûlée, but it has a nice fruity after taste.  Next time, I will add a hint of vanilla to it too.  And the best part?  It’s ready in just 5 minutes… or maybe less.  The hardest part is waiting for it to chill before eating it!
Thank you so much for an amazing recipe Mallory!  Please, make sure you drop by Mallory at Because I Like Chocolate and check out her beautiful site!

Total Time 5 minutes
Servings 3 to 4
Author Recipe adapted from Because I Like Chocolate

Ingredients

  • 2 very ripe avocados halved and cubed
  • 1 lime or lemon, juiced

    Super awesome choice! You know, in Brazil avocado is served mainly as a dessert, and guacamole is a new addition to the menus thanks to the Mexican and Tex Mex influence worldwide

    Still, I would love to try this brullee

    I am pinning and also sending to my niece in Brazil, she is a great cook with a passion for desserts

    Sally, waving hello from Group D

    Thanks for the great review Manu, I appreciate it! I am so glad you chose an older recipe like this one. Even though the pictures definitely need an update on my site (they definitely do not do the recipe justice) it is still an amazing dessert!

    I’ve never heard of avocado as creme brulee before. This sounds strange yet delightful at the same time. Wonderfully creative SRC post!
