Perhaps you could thaw them slightly and make this icecream:

Or put in a smoothie which would make it nicely chilled:
avocado, raspberries, banana, chia seeds, maple syrup, coconut milk and filtered water.

Dairy-free chocolate mousse:

As avocados oxidise and go black when exposed to the air for too long I can't see how you could eat these frozen ones just thawed.
Try sprinkling lemon juice on them as that is supposed to help prevent oxidisation.

Mind you, it is very rare indeed that we get any good avocados in the shops here.

I agree with sue , they didn't even make good guacamole . Very disappointing.

I tried the Tesco ones. I ended up binning most of the bag, they weren't good for much, disappointingly.

Not seen or heard of these, be interesting to see if anyone has found them to be ok. I love fresh avocado.
I bought some frozen pomegranate from Tesco a while back, thought great idea. Absolutely dreadful, you could of broken a tooth on the pips they were so hard! Tasteless too. Luckily I tried them before adding to dish.

Yes, I’ve got a bag in the freezer right now but I’ve yet to work out the best way to use them. Get them out, wait to defrost and they go black. Not a pretty look. Ideas anyone?

Noticed bags of frozen avocado slices in Iceland and was very surprised to see such things. I love avocados but it's always tricky to find them at the right level of ripeness, even when they are advertised as ' ready to eat'. Did a quick Google search and apparently Waitrose and Tesco have been selling them for a while. Reviews vary. Has anyone tried them and what do you think of them?
