Preparation Time

• Prep Time: 20 minutes
• Chill Time: 2 hours
• Total Time: 2 hours 20 minutes

Servings

4 dessert cups

Ingredients

For the Avocado Cream

• 2 ripe avocados
• 1 cup (240ml) coconut cream
• ½ cup (120g) cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup (60ml) sweetened condensed milk
• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• Pinch of salt

Cookie Crumb Layer

• 1½ cups graham cracker or digestive biscuit crumbs
• 3 tablespoons melted butter

Toppings

• ½ avocado, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons toasted coconut flakes
• ¼ cup cooked tapioca pearls (boba), chilled
• 2 tablespoons crushed cookies
• Sweetened condensed milk or coconut glaze for drizzling
• Fresh mint leaves (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cookie Base

Mix the cookie crumbs with melted butter until evenly coated. Divide a small amount among the serving glasses and gently press to create the first layer.

Step 2: Make the Avocado Cream

Place the avocados, coconut cream, cream cheese, condensed milk, honey, vanilla extract, lime juice, and a pinch of salt into a blender or food processor.

Blend until completely smooth, creamy, and free of lumps. Taste and add more honey if you prefer a sweeter dessert.

Step 3: Assemble the Layers

Spoon a generous layer of avocado cream over the cookie crumbs.

Add another layer of cookie crumbs, followed by more avocado cream until the glasses are nearly full.

Step 4: Decorate

Arrange thin avocado slices into a fan shape on top.

Sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes, crushed cookies, and chilled tapioca pearls.

Finish with a light drizzle of sweetened condensed milk or coconut glaze.

Step 5: Chill

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. This allows the dessert to firm up while the flavors blend together beautifully.

Tips for the Best Dessert

• Use perfectly ripe avocados for the smoothest texture.
• Chill the coconut cream overnight before using for extra richness.
• Blend immediately after cutting the avocados to maintain their vibrant green color.
• Add extra lime juice if preparing ahead to help prevent browning.
• Serve well chilled for the creamiest consistency.

Delicious Variations

• Add a layer of mango puree for a tropical twist.
• Mix in matcha powder for a unique flavor.
• Top with chopped pistachios or almonds for added crunch.
• Replace cookie crumbs with granola for a healthier option.
• Add mini chocolate chips for extra indulgence.

Storage

Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Because avocado naturally oxidizes, this dessert is best enjoyed within the first 24 hours for the freshest flavor and brightest color.
