Brazilians are the only ones that put sugar on avocados- A little splenda
on mashed or slices- a very satisfying dessert. Even for induction
keep the pit in the unused portion to help fruit from turning brown

Aha! I knew I wasn't crazy (debatable). I love sweet avocado, but I got
a lot of strange stares when I mentioned that here a few months ago.

It has been done in New York City also:
From The Nero Wolfe Cookbook by Rex Stout:
3 large ripe avocados
1 C sugar
4 T lime juice
2 T green chartreuse
1/2 C heavy cream
6 slices lemon
Chill avocados, cut in half, remove pulp and reserve skins.
To the pulp add sugaar, lime juice and chartreuse, whip to a
smooth consistency. Return mixture to the skins, garnish
with a lemon slice, whip the cream and serve on the side.

MAJOR falsehood that placing the pit in with mashed avocados will prevent
browning...
