Good afternoon all
Last weekend, some of you, like myself, may have seen one of the morning cookery shows in which they made a 'cheese less mint choc cheesecake'.The confection was sold as one that would wow your friends when they tasted it as they would not believe what it was made from - avocados - yes, avocados. They assured that the avocado took on the flavours added to it and its silky smooth texture was fantastic. They admitted it was a bit of a faff to make, but well worth the effort.
So, yesterday I got down to it and 'faffed' through the recipe. After its required 5 hours of chilling in the fridge, I pulled it out excited to have a taste. Drooling over the small slice of extremely tempting looking confection on my plate, I thrust in my spoon and filled my chops. Aaaaaaargh. I have never tasted anything so disgusting in my life! Do not be fooled - it tastes EXACTLY like ripe avocado with a load of cocoa powder! The whole thing went in the bin and a little tear trickled down my cheek at the hours spent creating and the 4 ripe avocados I would never get back.
