AVOCADO CREAM PARFAIT

When I was working, a friend from my office introduced this exotic delicious avocado smoothie... Till then I have never heard or seen this fruit... This is a very filling smoothie. Then it became my family's favorite fruit...If I invite guests,for lunch r dinner sure will make a dessert out of avocado and my guestes will likes it.. 

And my sister who stays in Singapore, took the seed of avocado and planted.I was teasing her... But it didn't grow...The original recipe called for pumpkin instead of avocado,I had 2 ripe avocados at home and was bored of same smoothie, juice and salad... So thought of trying this out... It was a hit recipe, everyone in home liked it, but arranging the parfait in a tall glass was the big mistake I did,It was tooooo heavy so couldn't finish the full glass and we wasted :-s some of it... So never try in tall glass...  Short one will be apt.

Ingredients:

For avocado filling:
Avocado - 1(ripe)
Milk - 3 tbs
Sugar - 3 tsp

For Whipped cream:
Heavy Cream - 1 cup
Sugar - 1 tbs
Vanilla extract - 1 tsp

For Bread Base:
Whole grain bread - 2
Melted butter - 3 tsp
Sugar - 2 tsp




Method:

Take a electric mixer bowl,pour in heavy cream,vanilla beat in medium for 3 mins,then add in sugar and beat in medium for 3 mins.

Then increase the speed to high and beat for 5-7 mins till stiff peaks,and set aside, and store in fridge and use when your arranging parfait.

Take whole wheat bread,cut  the edges,and cut into small pieces and grind in a  dry mixer to a coarse powder,like rava.Then add in sugar and ghee and mix well and set aside.

Cut the avocado vertically and Scoop the avocado and grind with milk and saugar.

Grind to a thick and smooth paste and scoop in the mixture to the piping bag and set aside.

Then take the arranging glass,first add in bread base then pipe in the avocado mixture and finally add in the whipped cream,and arrange the rest in same way,keep refrigerated.
  
Serve cold and enjoy this smoothie delicious avocado parfait...



Notes:

If you don't have a whipper,have patience to whip by hand or you can use your mixer it will done in 2 mins.The whipped cream can  be stored in fridge and use up to 2 days.

You can use any type of base for the parfait,and some options are any type of cake,cookies,biscuits and bread.And you can use nuts and fruits also.

prepare the avocado base,just before your going to arrange the parfait,or else it might become black and store in the refrigerator at once you arrange the parfait then serve it comes like a avocado cream cake.


Keep Smiling!:)
