Over 75 Avocado Recipes by the best food bloggers from across the web!

Find these recipes and more pinned to my Avocado board on Pinterest!

In the months leading up to the holidays, there have been dessert recipes popping up all over the place. While I’m never one to complain about a good dessert, after a while I start craving healthy recipes. Lately it has been all about the avocado. My kids love avocados plain, and I’ve been whipping them into smoothies, as pasta sauce, in place of mayo in sandwiches and salads, even using avocados in place of butter in baking! Since over 75% of fat in an avocado is unsaturated, it’s a great substitute for foods that are high in saturated fat.

While I frequently make delicious avocado recipes at home, it seems very few have made it on the blog. That will change soon, as I get these recipes ready to share with you. In the meantime I gathered over 75 wonderful avocado recipes from my favorite blogger friends. Enjoy! …

Peppermint Brownie Sundae

December 9, 2013 ·

This Peppermint Brownie Sundae is made with a fudgy brownie covered with peppermint ice cream and your favorite toppings. A classic and delicious combination is perfect for the Holidays!

This Peppermint Brownie Sundae starts with one of my favorite fudgy brownie recipes. The brownie is sturdy enough to withstand the ice cream topping without becoming soggy yet it melts in your mouth with fudgy goodness. A little peppermint extract to gives the brownies some Holiday flair, but that is optional. You get plenty of peppermint from the delicious peppermint ice cream! I wait all year for my favorite Edy’s Slow Churned Peppermint Wonderland ice cream that is a limited edition available through December. The fact that it is ridiculously rich and creamy with only half the fat and 1/3 fewer calories than regular ice cream is just a bonus.
