Alligator Pear Pops

I’ve been known to make a meal out of 1/2 an avocado and a tiny sprinkle of sugar.  So, this is a nice variation for summer when you’re craving something cold and icy.  Pops don’t have to be dripping with sugar.  Less is more.

A creamy avocado smoothie inspired this recipe.

Alligator Pear Pops
(Avocado Pops)
makes 4

2 avocados
2-3 Tablespoons cream
2 Tablespoons sugar
juice of 1/2 lemon

Mash avocado with lemon juice, sugar and cream.  When mostly smooth, whip vigorously by hand.  Whip until light and fluffy.  Spoon into molds.  Add a popsicle stick or bamboo fork.  Freeze.

Each pop is roughly 1/2 an avocado.

I made a snack out of the leftover spoonful.
