In the Philippines, Brazil, Indonesia, Vietnam, and south India (especially the coastal Kerala andKarnataka region), avocados are frequently used for milkshakes and occasionally added to ice creamand other desserts. In Brazil, Vietnam, the Philippines and Indonesia, a dessert drink is made with sugar, milk or water, and pureed avocado. Chocolate syrup or whipped cream are sometimes added.
