Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 0 minutes (if using cold coffee)
Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 1
Instructions:
1. Begin by preparing your avocado. Give it a gentle push with your thumb to ensure it's ripe. Slice it open, remove the pit with a tap and twist of a knife, and pinch to release it.
2. Over a bowl, squeeze out the avocado from its skin. Use a whisk to mash the avocado until it reaches a smooth, creamy consistency.
3. Stir in about a teaspoon of palm sugar syrup into the mashed avocado to sweeten it. Add a little splash of vanilla extract and mix well.
4. Take your parfait glass and artfully drizzle chocolate syrup along the inside edge for an added touch of sweetness and presentation flair.
5. Prepare the ice by either shaving it using an ice shaver or by crushing it in a blender. If you're using an ice shaver, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to shave the ice into fluffy, snow-like shavings.
6. Layer the bottom of your glass with the avocado mixture. Then, carefully add your shaved or crushed ice on top.
7. Gently pour in the cold espresso over the ice. Aim to distribute it evenly for a balanced flavor.
8. Drizzle condensed milk over the top to your taste preference. Add as much or as little as you like.
9. Insert a boba straw, and you're ready to enjoy your creamy, dreamy Es Alpukat! Stir with the straw to combine all the flavors before sipping.
Cooking Tips:
- If you're not a fan of strong avocado flavor, consider using just half an avocado.
- Make sure to serve immediately as the shaved ice melts quickly and the drink is best enjoyed cold.
- Adjust the palm sugar syrup and condensed milk to suit your desired level of sweetness.
