Hi Dara!

No, I didn’t try using sour cream to revive my frozen avocado. I’ll give it a try, I would be thrilled to find out it works! Thanks for the great suggestion, Tracy

Did you try to revive the avocado with sour cream, some food companies use sour cream to enhance guacamole and make it thick. who will know , give it a try out.

Actually I have made this one work. Here’s how I did it. Mush up the avocados, add a tiny bit of the lemon juice and put into ice cube trays. Freeze until nice and solid and then store in your zip lock baggies. I then was able to pull out the cubes and mix it with my salsa and seasoning and had a decent guac. Even better, use it for cooking and then you really won’t notice the difference. I loved it. My kids and I had guac any time we wanted. Guess I need to watch for sales and get myself some more! (Make sure it is a really ripe avocado. You want it to be ready for perfect guac already.)

I never had success freezing guacamole either until making baby food for my son. I pureed the avocado til completely smooth and put in ice cube trays. Once frozen i’d pop them out and put in a ziploc bag in the freezer. Whenever i’m ready, i pull out a few cubes and microwave them at 30 second intervals. Perfect creamy texture every time. So happy i can enjoy guacamole any time i want now!

The key to freezing successfully is to make sure that the avocados are completely pureed, NO CHUNKS. You also need to use 1 tablespoon of lemon juice for every 2 avocados. We’ve been freezing avocados for years because we had an avocado tree and never wanted them to go to waste. When making guacamole I use the frozen avocado puree and purchase a fresh avocado to make it chunkier.

Ashley,

I’ll have to try making the guac and then freezing it, or cutting the avocados in half and freezing. Thanks for the great tip. Tracy – The Middle Sister

I freeze mine all the time! I either make guac and freeze it or just cut the avocado in half and freeze it in the shell.

In reply to Tracy. I found the recipe for Avocado Quick Bread on ALLRECIPES. COM. I didn't add the orange zest and when I make breads I usually do half white sugar/ half brown sugar. will help on green color too. With freezing may have to strain some. Girls at work freeze too and I think thats what they do too for the guacamole

I just smash it and freeze it WITHOUT THE LEMON JUICE. Then I wrap with glad press n seal and micro a frozen half for 30 seconds when I’m ready.

I freeze mine this way, but I only use them for smoothies so the texture change isn’t a big deal.

I freeze mine, and they make a great Avocado sweet bread that I found on internet. I have to freeze, that and bring to work all the time because NOW I have two trees here in Florida.
