- Make It Vegan: Use plant-based cream and condensed coconut milk to create a vegan version of this dessert.
- You can avocado puree and add it to the jelly mixture.
- Add unflavored green gelatin powder for more texture and color to your avocado dessert.

Top Tips
- Drizzle the avocados with lemon juice to keep them from browning.
- It is best to use avocados that are ripe but firm and free of bruises.
- Feel free to add mango cubes to this dish and enjoy a delicious avocado mango sago!
- Add some water if the mixture is too sweet.
- Choose the best avocado by picking the avocado that has dark skin and slightly yields to gentle pressure. Also, if the stem is still attached, give it a pull. If it comes off easily, and the area under the stem is bright green, it’s perfectly ripe and ready to eat. Avoid avocados that have bruises, and brown spots, and are overly soft and mushy which could mean that it is too ripe.
