BRAZILIAN AVOCADO ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Combine avocado and 1/4 cup half-and-half in a blender; blend until smooth. Pour mixture into a bowl, ideally one with a spout. Squeeze lemon juice over avocado mixture and stir.
• Pour remaining half-and-half in the blender and shake it around to pick up any remaining avocado mixture; pour into the avocado mixture in the bowl. Add condensed milk and whisk until smooth.
• Pour avocado mixture into ice cream maker and process for 25 to 30 minutes. Turn off machine and pour mixture into a 1 1/2 quart freezer-safe container; place in the freezer until ice cream is set and has increased in size, at least 3 hours.

BRAZILIAN AVOCADO CREAM

Steps:

• Peel, pit and roughly chop the avocado.
• An easy way to remove the pit: after halving the avocado, with a flick of the wrist, plunge a knife into the pit, then give a slight twist and remove.
• Voila!
• Place avocado flesh into a blender with the lemon or lime juice, and puree until smooth.
• Transfer mixture to a bowl, and with an electric mixer, gradually blend in the sugar-- slowly, slowly does it.
• Then add cream and salt (just a little salt at a time, tasting as you go, to avoid over-salting), and blend further until well mixed.
• Distribute mixture between 6 stemmed glasses and chill at least 4 hours in the fridge.
• (Freeze it if you wish, but it is nicer just chilled).

CANJICA (BRAZILIAN HOMINY PUDDING)

Steps:

• Combine hominy and water in a large saucepan and soak 8 hours to overnight.
• The next day, bring soaked hominy and liquid to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until hominy is soft, about 1 hour. Add coconut milk, condensed milk, regular milk, 2 tablespoons sugar, cinnamon sticks, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and cloves. Cook over low heat until mixture has thickened, about 15 minutes.
• Taste and sweeten with more sugar if needed. Stir in coconut. Ladle into serving bowls and sprinkle with cinnamon.

BRAZILIAN AVOCADO CREAM PUDDING (VEGAN VERSION)

• in a food processor or blender and pulse until smooth. Add just enough milk to give the mixture a creamy, pudding-like consistency.
