Can I freeze the guacamole?

No, I don't recommend it. It's best made fresh.

My guacamole is too chunky and not creamy. Why?

Your avocados probably weren't ripe enough, so they were too hard, and you weren't able to mash them properly. Make sure you use ripe, soft avocados.

How do I know an avocado is ripe?

There are many varieties of avocados, but the most common ones go from green to black when they ripen and will be soft to the touch but not too much. Give it a very gentle squeeze all over, not in a single spot; you don't want to bruise it. When you lift the leftover stem at the top, the avocado should be bright green, not moldy. If it's still hard, give it 1-3 days at room temperature to ripen.

What else can I add to the guacamole?

I love adding grated garlic! All you need is one clove of garlic. The guac really doesn't need anything else; it's so good as is, but if you want to, you can add things like chopped fresh chili, diced tomatoes, or jalapenos.

Notes

Optional add-in/swap: 1 grated clove of garlic

The best way to keep your guacamole from browning is to keep it covered with no air touching it. Put it into a small container and cover it with plastic wrap making sure it touches the guacamole and there aren’t any bubbles. This prevents air from getting to it which prevents it from browning.
