Creamed avocado with cherries and mint.

When we were kids, me and my siblings always love avocado. Our mom often prepare this every lunch mixed with just condensed milk, and sometimes just plain slice together with other fruits served on dessert.There were times my mom blend this in a blender with some ice,honey and milk during summer.Refreshing but not so sweet because of the right amount of honey that have been poured into shake. But,, but i am not a cold shake fanatic. I like it with old style my mama's way. I really really like it. As we know avocado has a plain,dead color, non visual appeal, It would be nice if i add some bright color and herb that infuse perfectly with avocado


I chose pitted cherries and chopped mint leaves for my creamed avocado, Pitted maraschino cherries comes with sweet brine ( red syrup).Drain the syrup and wash the cherries under cold running water to lessen the sweetness of cherries.I chop some mint leaves to give smooth minty flavor to the fruit.

Definitely, i want to stick with the original recipe, my mama's ingredients are just avocado,condensed milk and crashed ice. In my recipe,, i add cherry, mint and slivered almond.

Serve 3

2 Hash avocado-slice into chunks
1 bottle maraschino bottle Cherries-Drained and cut in half or you may leave as whole
Mint leaves-finely chopped

When purchasing avocado, please pick little bit raw avocado or almost ripe avocado ( maniba )
to prevent the dish from being mushy.
Combine all ingredients except the crash ice and stir very gently. Set this aside and chill to refrigerator for at least an hour. place some crashed ice in a cup, Pour 1/3 cup of avocado mixture on top of ice. garnish with mint leaves and serve
