"Found @ foodnetworkdotcom, this recipe was part of a recipe that combined vanilla cupcakes w/avocado buttercream frosting, but I was smitten by the frosting part of the recipe for my "Avocado Collection". I haven't tried this yet, but it spoke to me & said "You're going to love me, I promise. I'm silky smooth just like the lovely avocado." Enjoy!"

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Process the avocado flesh & butter in a food proc or blender until completely smooth. W/the proc still running, slowly pour in the cream. Add the powdered sugar & pulse until light green & well-combined (about 1 min). Cover & refrigerate until ready to use.
Step 2
SERVING SUGGESTIONS: This is best when served on fully cooled baked goods like vanilla cupcakes & shortbread or sugar cookies. Lemon-flavored baked goods might work well too.
NOTE FROM ME: As usual, I'll use my hand-held stick blender to fix this. It's efficient & clean-up is a breeze compared to a food proc or blender
Tips
- Food proc or blender, but see NOTE FROM ME in the Prep Steps.
