Guacamole is a vibrant and delicious dip that can be enjoyed with a variety of dishes, from tacos to chips. This easy frozen guacamole recipe is perfect for making in advance and storing for a quick and healthy snack or appetizer anytime. By following these simple steps, you'll create a creamy and flavorful guacamole that retains its fresh taste even after being frozen.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Avocados: Halve and pit the avocados. Scoop out the flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Red Onion: Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl with the avocado.
- Garlic: Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves, then add them to the bowl.
- Lime: Squeeze the juice from half a lime and set aside.
- Add the 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt to the avocado mixture in the bowl.
- Pour in the lime juice.
- Use a fork or a potato masher to mash everything together until well combined and creamy. You can adjust the consistency to your liking, leaving some chunks for texture if you prefer.
- Taste the guacamole and add salt as needed to enhance the flavors. You can also add black pepper, cumin, or chopped cilantro if you like.
- Transfer the guacamole to an airtight, freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula to remove any air pockets.
- Lay a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole to prevent discoloration.
- Seal the container tightly with its lid and place it in the freezer.
- When ready to use, remove the frozen guacamole from the freezer and let it thaw in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight.
- Give it a good stir once thawed to restore its creamy texture.
- Serve chilled with tortilla chips, sliced veggies, or as a topping for your favorite dishes.
Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: Ensure that the avocados are ripe for the best texture and flavor. A ripe avocado will yield slightly when gently squeezed.
- Prevent browning: Add lime juice immediately after scooping the avocados. The acidity helps in slowing down the browning process.
- Blend to desired consistency: Mash the avocados with a fork if you prefer a chunky texture, or blend with the other ingredients for a smoother consistency.
- Use airtight containers: To freeze, place the guacamole in airtight containers or freezer bags, removing as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn.
- Thaw properly: Thaw the frozen guacamole in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving. Stir well to restore its creamy texture.
With a few fresh ingredients and a quick preparation process, you can have a supply of delicious guacamole ready to go whenever you need it. Freezing guacamole helps in preserving its vibrant flavors and creamy texture, making it a convenient and tasty option for any occasion. Enjoy your homemade guacamole with your favorite dishes or as a standalone snack.
