Vietnamese culture has a knack for creating delicious foods and drinks out of the most unexpected ingredients. For example, have you tried coffee with condensed milk over ice , aka the godsend known as ca phe sua da? Here's another way the Vietnamese people enjoy condensed milk that you probably haven't heard of: over fresh avocados. The recipe couldn't be simpler.
Cut your avocado in half, remove the pit, drizzle condensed milk over it, then scoop it out with a spoon to enjoy. If you're feeling fancy, cut the avocado into cubes before adding the milk. The thick, velvety condensed milk sweetens and adds richness to the avocado, elevating its flavor profile a hundred times over.
If you love avocados for their health benefits (they're one of the most popular superfoods , after all) but have always found the taste a bit bland, this combo might be right up your alley. A delicious twist on your avocado smoothie On hot days, or when they're in the mood for something lighter, some people add ice to this avocado treat and make a rough smoothie called bo dam. The ice helps to chill the mixture, lighten the consistency, and create a refreshing contrast to the rich avocado and sweet condensed milk.
To make bo dam, scoop out the avocado flesh and place it in a large glass over ice, then drizzle in the condensed milk. Fresh milk is a common, but not essential, ingredient. Next, use a spoon to smash the avocado into small pieces.
