I cannot say that I’m that good at baking (but I believe I am trying…kind of…). And because of my shying away from baking elaborate desserts, I am always (kind of) looking for a way to make hustle free desserts. I made my first parfait months ago and was really impressed by how easy it was to make and how really delicious it is not to mention money friendly. I can definitely say this dessert will be made often as long as there are biscuits and yoghurt or ice-cream. This avocado variation is phenomenal since it incorporates creamy avocado. The whole combination is amazing.
What you will need:
Two medium-sized avocadoes
Biscuits
½ C. Milk
½ Litre yoghurt
3 Tbsp. Sugar
1 Tsp. Lemon juice
Mint
Method
Peel the avocadoes and cut them into cubes of about an inch. In a blender, combine avocadoes, milk, ½ cup of yoghurt, and sugar and blend till pureed. Add the lemon juice and continue blending for 20 more seconds. Using a glass bottle, crush biscuits till coarse. Layer the biscuit, avocado puree, biscuit again and yoghurt till the glass is filled. Garnish with mint and serve
Observations:
- I would recommend refrigerating the avocadoes for a day before blending them.
- Make sure the yoghurt stays chilled till it is time to layer the ingredients. I used strawberry flavored yoghurt.
- I did not put a specific measurement for biscuits because you will need a lot to finish up the avocado puree.
Enjoy

What an interesting combination that makes for a beautiful parfait! I don’t usually think of putting avocados with something sweet!

I was hesitant at first too because here in Uganda it is known as a savory food, but when blended with milk (especially evaporated milk) it has a smooth creamy texture.
