Freezing Guacamole?

I assume it's fine to freeze fresh guacamole? How long does it keep? Any tips on how to defrost?

I recently froze my homemade guacamole for the first time ever. I placed it in a ziploc bag and squeezed all the air out before sealing. It turned out great! (eating it now). It was made from two avocados and had a half a lemon squeezed in. Try a small bit for yourself to see if you like it! Better than throwing it out.

Anoter option ist to buy it frozen, have a look to www.avocados.es , here you can see the products avocado pulp and guacamole frozen, the best option is to left the experts do the frozen guacamole, then you have a very good quality from frozen avocado and frozen guacamole.

I always freeze rather than throwing away, tastes fine to me.

I would say that it is not going to be great when you take it out of the freezer.

For me, guac is just something you make if you have the fresh ingridients on hand. The frozen stuff (either store bought or from your own freezer) is not what you are looking for.

I had an avocado tree that produced 250 creamy/delicious avocados...in November/December! (That's not a time of year when I'm really the mood for guacamole.)

I used to put my guacamole in containers, top it with lemon juice and freeze it. It just never tasted the same after being frozen--went from creamy to a fluffy/odd texture--just not very tasty IMO.

I have had success using my vacu-sealer. I got the idea when I bought some prepackage guac from TJ's. The key is extra lime/lemon juice and to squeeze out any air pockets before using the vacu-sealer so that you can truly get all the air out. I personally would use it within 2 month.

I have also had success freezing peeled avocado halves. Toss in lime/lemon juice place on cookie sheet and put in freezer to almost frozen. Put in bag and vacu-seal as usual or place in Ziploc bag and squeeze out as much air as possible. Good for making a quick batch of guac!

It can be done, if necessary...squeeze some extra lime or lemon juice over the top, and seal it in a double thick freezer bag with as little space and air as possible. I wouldn't keep it more than a month or so, if that long...not because it'll go "bad" but its texture will suffer over time. I would defrost it overnight in the refrigerator for best results.

No, it's not fine; it's awful. It'll separate. Don't bother.

I'm with you. I tried to carefully freeze it once to see what would happen, and the texture when it defrosted was terrible. Eat it now or toss it.
