⏱ Prep: 0 min ⏱ Cook: 400 min

Ingredients

  • 0 Granulated sugar-skip if the brand of clear jelly you use is already sweetened
  • 0 Avocados-five pieces cubed and one blended
  • 0 Lemon, lime, or calamansi juice
  • 0 Condensed milk-adjust amount according to taste
  • 0 All-purpose or heavy cream
  • 0 Sago pears-use mini or regular size
  • 0 I use mini sago pearls for extra cute factor but regular size will work too

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, combine jelly mix, sugar, and 3 cups water. on medium heat, cook while stirring into a near boil.

  2. Cut the avocados in half and remove the pit. Using a large spoon, scoop the flesh and cut the flesh of five avocados into cubes. Drizzle with lemon juice.

  3. In a food processor or blender, combine the remaining one avocado and condensed milk. Process into a puree consistency.

  4. In a big bowl, combine all-purpose cream and avocado puree. Stir until blended.

  5. Add avocado cubes, gelatin, and sago. Gently stir to distribute.

  6. As each brand may require a different amount of liquid, prepare the jelly according to the package’s directions. I used ½ of the package or about 48 grams which yield 4 cups gulaman cubes. Check if it's already presweetened as you might have to decrease the sugar or omit it altogether.

  7. The wider the pan, the thinner the jelly. I find an 8 x 8 pan results in the right thickness.

  8. Choose avocadoes that are ripe but firm and free of bruises. Drizzle with citrus juice to keep from browning.

  9. For best flavor, refrigerate to chill for a few hours before serving. The sweetness will mellow out as the dessert cools.
