Here in the States, the Avocado fruit is a popular ingredient for a dip, a salsa, or a delicious salad. In the Philippines, where I grew up, it is a favorite fruit to eat too... but it is commonly used as a dessert. Read more It is a popular ingredient for ice creams, ice pops, sweet fruit salads or mixes, & it is most of the time plainly eaten mashed mixed with some milk & sweetened with sugar or eaten with sweetened condensed milk. I love the creaminess of the Avocado pulp & I thought it would make a good ingredient for a Cheesecake so I created 1! I was not disappointed... it was all that I imagined it to be... it smelled sooo good & it tasted divine... it disappeared quickly & everyone was clamoring that I make another 1 ASAP! See less
