Flan de Aguacate is a creamy, dairy-free twist on the traditional Spanish flan, featuring the rich flavor of ripe avocados. This luscious dessert is naturally sweetened and offers a delightful balance of taste and texture, making it a guilt-free indulgence.

Ingredients

• Coconut milk - 200 ml

Steps

1. In a blender, combine the ripe avocado, coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until completely smooth.
