I dreamed I went to a pie shop and ordered a slice of avocado pie, despite not actually liking avocado in most settings. It was spiced similarly to pumpkin, and pretty good. Then I dreamed about trying to recreate it, including details about the stiffener (coconut oil, which, while awake, strikes me as a little too much fat). I suppose I have to try it now, though I think coconut oil will be the last resort.

I've wondered before why people don't make sweet stuff with avocado - it seems like it could make a good whipped cream type thing because of the fat content and creaminess. I've never been brave enough to try it, though.

Let us know how that turns out. :)

Alton Brown did. Ice cream and frosting.

Ahh, Alton Brown.

I don't have cable and I've never seen his show (or even really know who the heck he is) but it seems like anytime I want a recipe of any kind someone says "Alton Brown made that once.." :)

He's good fun to watch. Occasionally he'll do something and we'll wonder what he was thinking but fort he most part he knows what he's doing and isn't annoying about it. (But don't listen to how he says to make omelettes and I've got a better pancake recipe than his which takes less effort. :-)

It's really common in Central/South America, actually. I don't like the taste of avocado enough to be into it, but I do like guacamole, so I'm thinking that the spices might work similarly to the guacamole spices in making it more palatable.

I guess we'll see.

It does work well as a base for chocolate pudding, but that's more of a disguised thing. I'll post a recipe once I get it perfect.
