Avocado and Cotton Candy



Odd combination to most, indeed. See, in Philippines, it's a delightful dessert where avocado and sweetened condensed milk are mixed together and chilled. It's really quite delicious. So it made perfect sense for me to marry something sweet with avocado. However, there's more to this dish than just avocado and sweetness. This concoction also contains bacon, a little dash of cinnamon and nutmeg. It's also intriguing how the different flavours reveal themselves at different intervals when eating it. The initial flavour are the spices, then a sudden but subtle sweetness from the isomalt cotton candy. As you chew, the texture of the avocado gel reveals itself, along with the drop of rendered bacon oil. So what is this, dessert or an appetizer? I have no clue. It has components for both since it is both sweet and savoury.
