Can Guacamole Be Frozen

Yes, guacamole can be frozen, but the texture may change once thawed.

To freeze guacamole:

1. Prepare the guacamole as usual, but skip adding the fresh ingredients like tomatoes, which can become mushy after freezing.
2. Add lime or lemon juice to help preserve its color and prevent browning.
3. Store in an airtight container or freezer bag, removing as much air as possible. You can also place plastic wrap directly on the guacamole before sealing to reduce exposure to air.
4. Freeze for up to 3 months.

When you’re ready to use it, let it thaw in the fridge overnight. The texture may be slightly altered, but it will still be good for spreading or dipping.
