Brazilian Cream With Lime And Rum
A silky, creamy dessert blending ripe avocados with lime and rum, topped with whipped cream and garnished with lime slices, perfect for a tropical treat or special occasion.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Halve the avocados lengthwise; twist gently to separate the halves and remove the seed.
- Remove the avocado pulp and place it in a blender with the confectioners sugar, lime juice, and light rum; blend until smooth.
- Spoon the mixture into sherbet or champagne glasses.
- Garnish with lime slices or wedges before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor, try using fresh lime juice instead of bottled for a brighter taste. If you prefer a less sweet dessert, adjust the amount of confectioners sugar to your liking. For a twist, consider adding a splash of coconut cream or garnish with fresh mint leaves. This dessert is also a great companion to dishes like Queque Tres Leches(Three Milk Cake) for a delightful meal.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this Brazilian cream chilled in individual cups or glasses, and consider pairing it with a light fruit salad or a refreshing sorbet for a well-rounded dessert. It also complements savory dishes like grilled shrimp for a unique contrast. A slice of cake, such as a light sponge or even Fruit Filled Bars, can make a delightful accompaniment.
Storage & Reheating
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To prevent browning, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the cream before sealing the container. Rewhipping the cream may help restore its texture if it thickens while stored.

Yes, you can omit the light rum and replace it with extra lime juice or a splash of sparkling water for a refreshing, non-alcoholic version. This will maintain the tangy flavor while keeping it family-friendly.
How can I make this recipe vegan?
To create a vegan version, substitute the whipping cream with coconut cream or a dairy-free whipping alternative. Ensure that the confectioners sugar is vegan-friendly, and you can enjoy this delicious dessert without any animal products.
