Judy your photo is great.

Thanks Cookie.  Mine is darker too Ruth so obviously the flash does affect the colour.

Oh, yum - this is sooooo delicious!!!  I froze the strawberries so it would be thick and cold, and we LOVED it!  Thanks Ruth! 
Hope you don't mind if I put this on my blog - I'll link it back to here.  I think everyone should know about this!!!

Thanks ruth.  It is amazing how well avocados do in desserts.  I didn't see all of Masterchef but recall  Skye? doing a chocolate and avo dessert (hopefully I am not making it up!)

There is an avocado and ginger ice-cream here somewhere

I would think it would be great on your blog Jo. Great idea about the freezing. I am so not creative, hence why I come here ;-)

I never watched masterchef (yes perhaps the only person in the world not to see an episode) but I will check out the icecream.  The raw book has a chocolate avocado desert but I have not tried it yet.

Ooops - maybe it wasn't on Masterchef - maybe I read it in the Raw booklet

I'm sure you're right Thermomixer - it was Skye, and quite early on in the competition from memory.  Avocado, agave, cocoa and coconut oil???

Here's a fancy version from Skye's Wild Sugar site.

This is super yummy!  I cheated and didn't soak the dates and just mixed together on a higher speed for a little longer.  I liked the little nuggets of date throughout.  Certainly not as smooth as intended, but absolutely delicious.

This would be great in kids lunch boxes for morning tea.  I guess the avocado would go brown so the colour might be off a bit.  I'll have to try and keep some aside for a few hours next time to see if it still looks nice.

Made a version of this last night with 2 small avocadoes, 1 banana, 1 punnet of strawberries.  Result was amazing!  The texture was a beautiful, fluffy, airy mousse and I loved the flavour.

I managed to save some last night, and by morning tea this morning, the colour was still really nice, and still tasted great.  DD gobbled it up.  So yes, I think this would be great in a school lunchbox.  Perhaps frozen to keep contents cool, and by morning tea it should be defrosted just nicely.

Fabulous - thanks for this idea.

Soaking my dates now for this, but my kids ate my strawberries lol. Would blueberries work instead do you think?
