Is Food.com European? What's with the grams of cream cheese? Am I going to have to have a converter for all of your recipes? All other ingredients are normal! I can't picture metric amounts in my head!

Hi Dee! Since the recipe calls for the frozen avocados to be thawed beforehand, I would say you could use regular, fresh avocados in their place without much trouble. Let us know how it turns out!
