Ingredients You’ll Need
The Health Benefits of Avocados
Beyond the delectable taste and creamy texture, avocados boast an array of health benefits that make them a fantastic addition to your diet. Rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, avocados can help lower bad cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. They’re also packed with fiber, which aids in digestion and promotes a feeling of fullness.
Avocados are a powerhouse of essential nutrients, including vitamins C, E, K, and B-6, as well as folate and potassium. These nutrients contribute to a strong immune system, healthy skin, and proper nerve and muscle function. Additionally, avocados contain antioxidants that protect your cells from oxidative stress and inflammation.
Can You Freeze Avocado Float?
While avocados are known for their creamy texture, freezing the avocado float itself is not recommended. Freezing can alter the texture and taste of both the avocados and the cream, resulting in a less-than-ideal dessert experience.
However, you can freeze ripe avocados to use in future avocado float creations. Simply peel, pit, and dice the avocados before placing them in an airtight container. When you’re ready to make another batch of avocado floats, thaw the frozen avocado chunks and proceed with the recipe as usual.
How Long Can You Keep Avocado Float in the Fridge?
While the best way to enjoy an avocado float is fresh, you can store any leftovers in the refrigerator for a short period. Due to the avocados and dairy content, it’s recommended to consume the avocado float within 1-2 days of preparation. To store, cover the container tightly with plastic wrap or transfer the remaining dessert to an airtight container.
