First, she sliced an avocado and carefully scooped the pieces into the glasses. Next, she took ice cubes, wrapped them in cloth, and crushed them with a rolling pin. This crushed ice was added on top of the avocado, followed by a generous drizzle of condensed milk. She also added some flakey sea salt. The overlay text read: “POV: You don't eat avocado on toast.” She stated that this recipe “originated in the Philippines” but “there are versions of this all over the world.” Watch the video here:

I wanna try this so bad but I'm so nervous.” Another chimed in, “When I lived in Vietnam, I would order avocado ‘smoothies' all the time. They were truly one of the best things I've ever had and they were basically this, blended up.” Others shared fond memories, like a user who reminisced, “My mom used to make avocado popsicles with milk, sugar, and avocado! Still a fave. I don't prefer it savoury.”
A foodie added, “It's basically avocado ice cream, which I've had and it's truly delicious.” A user wrote, “In other countries, avocado is seen as a dessert. My friend from Cambodia told me she had to get used to how Americans use avocado.” Another noted, “You guys would be surprised how good avocado is with sweets.” One enthusiastic person declared, “The ultimate snack! Love to see this making the rounds in 2024 after friends teasing me for it my whole life.”
