How to use avocados to make your favorite desserts so much healthier
When you think about the primary ingredient in creamy desserts, your mind probably goes straight to dairy. But what if I told you your favorite green fruit is the key to making a mouthwatering treat the plant-based way?
Using avocados in desserts isn’t anything new. It’s been a vegan cooking staple for years, often used in lieu of butter when baking. It’s so much more than a healthy ingredient swap, though. In many recipes, its natural creaminess is what takes desserts to the next level, whether you’re making a chocolate silk pie, key lime bars, or ice cream.
If you want to make a healthier version of some of your favorite sweet treats without sacrificing taste or texture, these avocado desserts truly give you the best of both worlds.
