Okay, folks, let's talk about a dessert that sounds totally bizarre but tastes absolutely divine. I know, I know, avocado in a dessert? And paired with salted caramel? Trust me on this one. This Salted Caramel Avocado Fantasy is a revelation. I was hesitant at first, kinda like when my grandma tried to convince me that liver was 'delicious'. But, unlike that liver (shudders), this dessert actually is delicious. My friend, Sarah, convinced me to try it after she got back from some fancy health retreat. Turns out, healthy can be decadent.
This recipe is a fantastic way to sneak in some healthy fats and nutrients while still satisfying your sweet tooth. It's also surprisingly easy to make, requiring just a handful of ingredients and a blender. I mean, who doesn’t love a dessert that’s both good for you and simple to whip up? Plus, it’s a total conversation starter. Imagine serving this at your next dinner party! The looks on their faces will be priceless. A little tip, I accidentally used sea salt instead of table salt. It was the best mistake I ever made!
So, if you’re looking for a dessert that’s a little bit different, a little bit daring, and a whole lot delicious, give this Salted Caramel Avocado Fantasy a try. You might just surprise yourself. And hey, even if you don’t love it, you can always say you tried something new! One time, I put avacado in my smoothie, that was a mistake, but this is one you HAVE to try!

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First, lets prep the salted caramel. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut sugar, butter (or coconut oil for vegan), and salt. Keep stirring constantly until the butter is melted and the sugar has dissolved, about 3-5 minutes. Be sure not to burn it!
- Remove the caramel from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Set aside to cool slightly. It will thicken as it cools, which is exactly what we want.
- Time to work on the avocado cream, Scoop out the flesh of the avocados and put it into a blender or food processor. Add the milk, maple syrup, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Pulse or blend until completely smooth and creamy. You might need to scrape down the sides a couple of times to get it all incorporated.
- Taste the avocado cream and adjust sweetness or cocoa levels to your preference. This is where you get to be the chef and make it *your* perfect treat!
- Now, for the fun part – assembling the desserts! In your glass jars or dessert cups, layer the salted caramel and avocado cream. Start with a layer of caramel at the bottom, then a layer of avocado cream, and repeat. You can make as many layers as you like, depending on the size of your cups.
- Once you've layered everything, top each cup with a final drizzle of salted caramel. For a fancy touch, sprinkle some flaky sea salt or a few chocolate shavings on top.
- Cover the dessert cups with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This step is important, trust me!
- Before serving, give each cup a final look and add any extra toppings if desired. Serve chilled and watch your friends or family devour them!
📝 Notes
- For a richer caramel flavor, use brown sugar instead of coconut sugar.
- If you don't have maple syrup, honey or agave nectar can be substituted.
- Add a splash of coffee liqueur for an extra kick!
