ANOTHER HEALTHY DESSERT ...AVOCADO FOOL

Avocados  full of potassium and good fats ........ ( Mono unsaturated ) and as simple as banana ice cream to make .
We are going to get so healthy  !
I found this recipe in Charmaine Solomon`s ...THE COMPLETE ASIAN COOKBOOK .

You will need 3 large ripe avocados , cut in half lengthways , remove the stones  and set them aside .
Scoop out the flesh of the fruit into a bowl and mash smoothly with a fork.
Now add 1/4 of a cup of a sweetener , castor sugar, or stevia ( natural sweetener  )
I guess you will need to be your own judge on how sweet you want the dessert to be.
Now stir in one cup of thickened cream  and a 1/4 tsp of vanilla paste  ( a dash of rum is an option )
Place into a serving bowl, and return the stones to the pulp ( this stops the avocados from discolouring ).
Cover with a plastic film , making sure the film lies on the surface of the fruit .
Refrigerate till chilled , about 3 hours.
Remove the stones when ready to serve , and top with thickened whipped cream and a handful of crushed nuts.
THE NAUGHTY VERSION OF THIS RECIPE ....
Use 1 can of sweetened condensed milk in place of the sugar and cream ..!!!
