Jus Alpukat (Indonesian Avocado Shake)
Jus Alpukat (meaning avocado juice) is a popular Indonesian dessert beverage made with creamy avocados and a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
Ingredients
Chocolate Syrup (Optional)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 ½ tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- pinch of kosher salt
Avocado Shake
- ½ medium avocado about ½ cup
- ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk I used dairy-free
- ½ cup unsweetened milk of choice, plus more as needed I used oat milk
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
- Make the chocolate syrup. Whisk together the cocoa powder, maple syrup, coconut oil, and a pinch of salt in a bowl until combined. Set aside.
- Make the shake. Add the peeled and pitted, avocado, milk of choice, sweetened condensed milk, and ice cubes to a blender. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thinner shake, add more milk.
- Serve. Drizzle the chocolate syrup inside the serving glasses or glass, and then pour the avocado mixture in and drizzle more chocolate on top if desired. Serve immediately. Makes 2 cups or 1 glass, but it's very filling, so it could easily serve 2.
Notes
Make It Your Way: Substitutions & Variations
Add coffee - as mentioned previously, you can add coffee to your avocado shake. Add around 1/4 cup of brewed and cooled strong coffee or a double shot of espresso and reduce the amount of milk so it keeps its thick texture.
Not dairy-free? - use 2% or whole milk and regular sweetened condensed milk.
