Recipe makes 16 cupcakes

Cream:

• 2 sticks butter

Mash Up in Food Processor (you could probably easily do this by hand if you were able to use 2 hands):

• 2 avocados
• 1 t of strong lime juice (I used Volcano Lime Burst - I found it at Whole Foods. The link is for a 24 pack, I just bought one as I'm not a expecting to have to bunker in my house and survive on lime juice any time soon.)

Stir avocado mash and zest of 2 limes into the creamed mixture.
Fill cupcake wrappers. Bake at 350 for 30 min.
