I'm not the original poster so I'm not sure what recipe she used, but Alton Brown did a show on avocados and made avocado frosting:

That's the one. I added a touch more lemon extract than he calls for, though, because I really love lemon.

I made these last month! They were pretty good, but I put raspberries in it for shits.
I dug it. Your frosting is pretty.

I looking at this and wondering if we have the same plates. I can't tell, though.

The plates are mostly white, with blue rims. The pink cast is just from the funky rangetop lighting.

That's brilliant! Avocado has such a mild flavour - this would be a fantastic way to make vegan icing without resorting to *shudder* shortening!

Well, they look cute and I would definitely TASTE them before making negative comments about them. Thanks for sharing...I like how the icing almost has a glittery look. How did you find the taste?

It's not the kind of frosting you'd want to eat by the spoonful, but with the cupcakes it was very nice.

I thought the same thing, actually- and I thought "lime curd". I still can't figure out how it turned out looking so gelatinous.

No no no ... lime curd is holy in my book (especially my crockpot version:), this looks nothing like it ... don't make me re-educate you on lime curd, missy :)

If re-educating means sending me some, or a recipe, I will submit to it! ;)

I love lemon curd. Might try and make some this weekend when I have a mo' and see how it compares to what I can get at the store.

Homemade lemon curd is the most delightful stuff ever. Super-easy to make, too. My husband eats it by the spoonful when I make it! This is the recipe I use, but I do it in a double-boiler over medium heat just to make sure the eggs don't curdle. So yummy!

I love home made lemon curd ... have a really hard time not walking around with a spoon all day long. I always make it in the crockpot and it turns out fantastic.

The crockpot version? If you want to, I can translate it and slap it up.

Oh. This stuff looks like the "slime" I used to play with when I was a teeny tiny munchkin :)

Lemon & avocado? *yummm* I want a HUGE bite! They'd look prettier than they are now with tiny slices of fruits on 'em ;)
