Avocado Desserts

I am very eager to try incorporating avocado into a sweet application at my work but im not sure were to start, any suggestions ?

It's not a trend as far as I know. I'm close to a dude from Brazil, and his favorite and the most common, he says, way of eating avocado down there is sweet. He'll take one, and mash it all up, then drizzle it with condensed milk, or just granulated sugar and cinnamon. It's amazing-good. He'll also toss half an avocado in with a vanilla milkshake, and that is also damn tasty.

Those are good flavors to start with, condensed milk or dulce de leche, cinnamon, and vanilla. Also, avocado with cinnamon, sugar and cayenne is a winning combo.

That's also popular in Vietnam, but the avocado and SCM are blended together in a smoothie. A bit too sweet/creamy for me - I like something with a hit of acid for contrast.

I remember Alton Brown doing an avocado buttercream frosting several years ago, to take advantage of both the color and the fat content.

I had an avocado mousse at Cafe Juanita near Seattle that was pretty good. It reminded me of cheesecake. Avocados don't have much flavor of their own, they are just creamy. Might as well be creamy and sweet.
