While searching fridge git a dried apricots bag which is lied down from so many days..I add apricots ususally in fruit salads..Took few apricots to fold with avocado and for taste added some honey..I thought to name it as avocado ice cream but,it need freezing if i would like to calll with a name ice cream..When i licked this avocado apricot it tasted too good..So,instead of freezing named it as dip and had it with crispy crackers..Beleive me,it`s worth try combination..ripen avocado gives a great taste and honey increases th esweet ness along with apricots...Here I used dried apricots,which need little bit long time to blend.So,to make it easy,I suggest you to soak them in water or milk over night then blend with avocado..You can relace honey with sugar,but i feel honey works out better more than the suagr here.For growing kids this is a super snack to feed in the evening times..
