🥑 Creamy Avocado Shake Recipe
Ingredients
-
1 large ripe Avocado (plus an extra half for the decorative slices)
-
1/2 cup Condensed milk (adjust for your preferred sweetness)
-
1/4 cup Whole milk or Coconut milk
-
1 ½ cups Ice cubes (crushed ice works best for a smooth finish)
-
Optional: A squeeze of lime juice (to keep the color bright)
Instructions
1. Prep the Glass (The “Look”)
To get the effect in your photo:
-
Cut half an avocado into very thin crescent slices.
-
Gently press these slices against the inside wall of your clear cup. They should stick naturally due to the healthy fats in the fruit.
2. Blend the Base
-
Scoop the flesh of the large ripe avocado into a blender.
-
Add the condensed milk, regular milk, and ice.
-
Tip: If you like it extra thick (like a milkshake), use less milk. If you want it more drinkable, add a splash more.
3. Mix until Silky
-
Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and there are no ice chunks left.
4. Assemble
-
Slowly pour the blended mixture into your decorated glass. Be careful not to dislodge the slices on the side.
-
Top with a few more fresh slices if you have any left over!
Quick Tips for Success
-
The Avocado: Ensure it is perfectly ripe (it should feel like a stick of room-temperature butter when pressed). Under-ripe avocados can taste bitter.
-
The Sweetness: Condensed milk is the traditional “secret ingredient” here. It provides a velvety mouthfeel that plain sugar can’t match.
