Deliciously rich and sweet like a traditional buttercream frosting, but without the butter! The pretty green color comes naturally from the Hass Avocado, so there’s no need to add artificial food coloring.

- 1 ripe, Fresh Hass Avocado, peeled and seeded
- 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 lb. powdered sugar, sifted

Re: Avocadocream frosting
Thank you for your comment. The lemon juice called for in this recipe acts as an acidic agent to help prevent oxidization or “browning” and the sugar also helps to keep the pretty green color. The frosting can be kept in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for a day or two, and leftover frosted cake should be covered and refrigerated. We hope that this recipe exceeds your expectations and that you will continue to enjoy our Hass Avocado recipes.

Avocadocream frosting.
What is the shelf life of a cake frosted like this? Won't it brown within minutes of hitting air?
