From Ice Lollies To Chocolate Cake Here's How Avocados Are Eaten Around The World

Avocado is the superfruit that has recently taken the world by storm. Don’t be tempted to eat it plain, there’s a huge range of meals you can create if you let your imagination go a little wild. Here are eight ideas to give you some inspiration.

Ice lollies

If you want to cool down on a hot summer’s day but still keep healthy, there is nothing better than these avocado ice lollies. If you want to make them yourself, BBC Good Food has sorted you out with this great recipe.

Baked

Keep it savoury and bake your avocado, then add a topping of choice! Better still – crack an egg into the perfectly sized pip hole in the middle of the fruit to give it that extra protein-kick.

Chocolate cake

Who said cake can’t be healthy? A very naughty but delicious treat is avocado cake, made easily thanks to the fruit’s creamy texture making the flesh easily worked into cake ingredients. The result is lovely and moist – no one would ever guess it’s healthy.

Sushi

If you’re creating a quick and easy spread or simply want something easy to pop in your lunch box, then roll your avocado into sushi – it makes a brilliant partnership with smoked salmon.

Pasta sauce

If you want to incorporate avocado into your pasta meal but are not sure how, then what about pulping the avocado flesh into a pasta sauce? The flavour isn’t overpowering, so it will allow the rest of your ingredients to come into their own.
