Avocado Dessert - Sri Lanka - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 large avocados (fully ripe)
    1 cup cream
    caster sugar (to taste only)
    rum (optional)
Preparation
    Cut avocados in half lengthways. Remove seeds & reserve them. Scoop pulp from shells & mash smoothly w/a fork. Discard shells.
    Add sugar to taste & stir in the cream.
    Put in serving bowl, return seeds to the pulp, cover tightly w/plastic wrap & chill before serving. NOTE: The presence of the seeds in the puree is said to keep the avocado from discoloring, but the plastic wrap is always used as well.
    To Serve: If desired, extra whipped & sweetened cream can be piped over the top of the dessert. While many favor adding rum for flavor, the delicate avocado flavor may be allowed to stand alone -- or -- the mixture can be divided & served both ways.
    Personal Note: I would reserve the avocado shells & use them to serve this dessert.
