How to freeze avocados?

1. Select ripe avocados. Avocados should be firm to the touch, but give slightly when pressed. Avoid avocados that are too soft or mushy, as they will not freeze well.

2. Peel and pit the avocados. Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pit. Use a spoon to scoop out the avocado flesh.

3. Mash the avocado flesh. Place the avocado flesh in a bowl and mash it with a fork until smooth.

4. Add lemon or lime juice. Add 1 tablespoon of lemon or lime juice per avocado to prevent the avocado from browning.

5. Transfer the mashed avocado to a freezer-safe container. Pack the avocado tightly into the container, leaving no air pockets.

6. Freeze the avocado puree for up to 3 months. Thaw the avocado puree overnight in the refrigerator before using.
