Nehemiah spoke to Israel after a tragedy, but he encouraged everyone in an unexpected way. He said to be thankful for the (good*) fat and for "the sweet," to help bring cheerfulness at a sad time.
In this time of global transition and trial, do you still have a healthy dessert** recipe that you like?
If so, will you leave a comment about your healthy dessert?

* Nehemiah didn't actually say to eat "good" fat, but we know Israel was aware of differences between fats. In Judges 9:9, for example, the olive tree metaphorically asks, "Should I leave my fatness, wherewith they honor God and man ... ?"
** Avocados have lots of good fat, and there are many ways to make ice cream with avocados. The recipe on this link puts avocados together with heavy cream and syrupy condensed milk. So, like regular ice cream, it's not a light dessert; but it's a little healthier than regular ice cream, because avocados take the place of some of the cream. Cream has lots of unhealthy fat and does not have the nutrition that whole milk has. And that means even this recipe isn't the healthiest.
Another way to make ice cream with avocados is to pour healthy whole milk into a 3/4 cup measure of chopped, ripe avocado, and put that in a blender. Also put 3/4 cup of strawberry yogurt, 1/4 cup of heavy cream, and 1/4 cup of mashed bananas into the blender. Puree, and freeze for a few hours.
The amount of each ingredient can be adjusted so that the consistency is okay to the "cook."
