Directions
Sprinkle the gelatine on the 150 ml/1/4 pint cold water, stand for 2 to 3 minutes to soften the gelatine, then dissolve over a pan of very hot water or in the microwave cooker.
Add the sugar to the hot mixture so it dissolves completely.
Put the lemon juice into a basin.
Halve the avocado(s), scoop out the pulp and mash or liquidize this with the lemon juice.
Blend with the dissolved gelatine.
Measure the mixture and add sufficient water to make a generous 450 ml/3/4pint.
Allow to cool and begin to stiffen.
Whip the cream until it stands in soft peaks and fold most of it into the avocado mixture.
Spoon into 4 glasses.
When set, top with the rest of the cream and decorate with the lemon slices.
