that is so funny that you have never had avocados in sweet form…. i grew up in Brazil only eating avocados as a sweet fruit….. avocado with sugar and lime is delicious…. or as smoothie of with milk, sugar, lime, banana, orange and apples….. it is devine…. i'm glad someone tried it the way i think it shoud be eaten…. i don't like avocados in savory dishes and i dispise guacamole…….yuck

I’ve never tried plantains boiled; must give it a go one day!

Wow, this is really interesting. I always thought avocados could go into a dessert, because they’re so creamy. So this sounds really good. You should make avocado ice cream!
Also, I tried plantains about a year ago, and I like them. i made them into chips.
So I give this dessert 4 stars. No, 5 stars.

I must have that Tupperware!! *pant pant pant*

I think this dish would’ve been a good entry into Emiline’s pub crawl, too, Ben. The stronger booze taste of rum is a winner. I didn’t know that plantains are also boiled, I thought they were only fried. I learned something new today!

I just found a grocer that sells plantains, so I really want to try this out! I’ve never had avocado in a dessert.

I love plantains, but I have to admit I never thought they would go with avocado. The rum and lime juice sounds like it will lift up the flavors of the plantains. Sounds really yummy, Ben!
