As one of the biggest avocado lovers in the whole wide world (my friends can testify!), I just had to try this recipe. I found it while flipping through the Cosmopolitan magazine.

A beautiful tart for a special occasion (or just like that)! I however have to admit, that it does take a little patience to get it ready, but the result is a very delicious and very ‘pretty’ dessert.
