Manong Ken's Recipe of the Month - October 1999


Avocado Shake

In the Philippines, avocados are used in desserts - like ice cream and shakes. It was culturally shocking for me to see avocados in salads or in shrimp cocktail. But then again, my American friends are also absolutely horrified to see me waste a nice ripened avocado in a blender. They wouldn't even taste the finished product. They don't know what they are missing.

It is very easy to make avocado shake. Just scoop the fleshy part of the fruit out of its shell, then mash is smoothly with milk and sugar. Then add ice. Or you can blend the mixture in a blender with ice. Or you can use sweetened condensed milk. Or cream.
