Avocado and milk in ice (or abukado lamaw) is a traditional Filipino dessert or beverage made from avocado in milk and sugar ( condensed milk, evaporated milk, or powdered milk can also be used). It is preferably eaten cold. Ice ( shaved ice, crushed ice, or simply ice cubes) are added, or it is partly frozen before consumption. The milk can also be excluded, mixing avocados directly with sugar. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] The avocados can also be mashed or puréed, which is usually called avocado milkshake or avocado smoothie. [6] [7] Sliced dessert bananas are sometimes added. [8]
Avocado lamaw is the traditional way of eating avocados in the Philippines, where avocados were introduced from Mexico before the 1700s, during the Spanish colonial period of the Philippines. [9] Avocado lamaw is a variant of lamaw, a dessert made with young coconut, milk, and sugar. [10] [11] [12]
It became a food trend on TikTok in 2022 and has become popular in neighboring Vietnam, where it is known as sinh tố bơ. [2] [3] [13]
