Frequently asked questions
Can you freeze guacamole? Yes! Add the guacamole to freezer bags or airtight containers and freeze it for up to 3 months. Thaw frozen guacamole in the fridge overnight before serving it. Keep in mind that avocado tends to brown easily, and that thawed guacamole might be a bit off colour.
How much guacamole per person? I usually estimate ½ avocado per person. One portion of this recipe will serve two people.
Why does guacamole turn brown? Avocado tends to brown really quickly after being in contact with air. There is a number of things you can try to prevent it from browning too fast. Even after it has changed color, it is still safe to eat.
