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.

Begin where you are - but don't end there.

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