So we had to use green food… This was a tough one. My first idea was to create a new take on the cheese, crackers and wine dessert. I have tried to bake green cheese cookies twice, I had the not so brilliant idea of baking cheese/almonds Florentines. In my mind they looked green and delicious, in real life they resembled an over baked pizza. So green cheese was out. Back to the list, and another crazy thought, how about a spinach cake. I baked it, following a zucchini cake recipe, but I really didn’t like the flavor, maybe I used too much spinach, I don’t know, and I guess I’m not going to find out, this is something I won’t be trying any time soon.
Third option, avocado. As weird as this may seem to you, I associate avocado with sugar and desserts. Many years ago when it was very hard if not impossible to buy this fruit in Portugal, my father would sometimes bring boxes of avocados from Madeira that we ate just by removing the pit and filling the hole with sugar, lemon or lime juice and Port wine. This has always been my favorite way to eat avocados and my inspiration for this recipe. Avocado lime ice cream and Port wine jelly.
- Ingredients:
Ice Cream:
3 ripe avocados
4 dl milk
Juice and zest of half a lime
3 tablespoons sugar - Port Wine Jelly:
1 dl Port wine
1 dl water
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cinnamon stick
1 sheet gelatin
Peel and pit the avocados. Add the avocados, lime, milk, and sugar to a blender and puree. Place the mixture into the refrigerator and chill.
For the jelly:
In a saucepan bring to boil water, cinnamon stick, sugar and let boil for one minute, add the port wine. Take away the heat. Soften sheet gelatin in cold water, drain it well and add it to the mixture. Allow it to set.
Before serving, decorate the ice cream with jelly cut into small pieces.
