Ingredients

6 ripe avocados, seeded, peeled, and coarsely mashed

1/3 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons lime juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon bottled hot pepper sauce (optional)

How to Make Freezer Guacamole

Step 1: Mix It Together

In a medium bowl, combine the mashed avocados, green onions, cilantro, sour cream, lime juice, salt, and hot sauce (if using).

Stir until well blended but still slightly chunky.

Step 2: Portion for Freezing

Divide the guacamole evenly among three 1-quart resealable freezer bags.

Press out as much air as possible (this helps prevent browning), then seal tightly. Label and date.

Step 3: Freeze

Lay bags flat in the freezer. Freeze for up to 1 month.

Step 4: Thaw & Serve

Thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Give it a quick stir before serving.

For easy entertaining, snip a small corner off the freezer bag and pipe the guacamole directly onto chips or into serving bowls.

Tips for the Best Frozen Guacamole

Use fully ripe avocados for the creamiest texture.
Press plastic wrap directly against the surface before sealing if you want extra protection against air.
Lime juice is key — don’t reduce it, as the acidity helps preserve color.
Stir after thawing to restore texture.

What to Serve with Guacamole

Tortilla chips
Tacos or taco bowls
Grilled chicken or steak
Quesadillas
Spread on sandwiches or wraps
Dolloped on chili

Can You Really Freeze Guacamole?

Yes — and it works beautifully when you skip chunky add-ins like tomatoes.

The lime juice and sour cream help preserve texture and color. After thawing, it may look slightly darker on top, but a quick stir brings it back to life.

Storage

Refrigerator (fresh): 1–2 days
Freezer: Up to 1 month
Store in airtight freezer bags with air pressed out

Make It Your Own

Add diced jalapeño for extra heat
