Notes

Storing Tips-

1. 1. Refrigeration: Store any leftover avocado frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will typically last for 2-3 days. Although the leftovers can be refrigerated and remain tasty for a few days, freshly prepared avocado frosting boasts a superior texture and appearance.
   2. Surface Smoothing: Before refrigerating, smooth the surface of the frosting with a spatula to minimize air exposure and prevent it from drying out.
   3. Bring to Room Temperature: When you’re ready to use the frosting again, allow it to come to room temperature before spreading it onto your desserts. This will ensure that it’s creamy and easy to work with.
