This playful monster guacamole is a creamy, chunky, and flavorful party dip decorated with black bean ‘eyes’ and fun toppings. Perfect for Halloween, birthdays, or any gathering where you want to make guests smile and snack healthy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe avocados (about 600g)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (30ml)
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced (30g)
  • 1 medium Roma tomato, seeds removed and diced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (8g, optional)
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
  • 3/4 teaspoon sea salt (4g), or to taste
  • Black pepper, a few cracks
  • 16–20 black beans (canned and rinsed) for eyes
  • 2–3 cherry or grape tomatoes, sliced (for eye whites)
  • 2–3 tablespoons sour cream or dairy-free yogurt (for decorating, optional)
  • Tortilla chips, sliced veggies, or pretzel sticks (for serving and monster hair/antennae)

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry all veggies. Halve avocados, remove pits, and scoop flesh into a medium mixing bowl. Dice red onion, chop tomato (removing seeds), mince jalapeño, and chop cilantro. Rinse and drain black beans. Slice cherry tomatoes into 1/4-inch rounds.
  2. Mash half the avocado until very smooth for creaminess. Mash the rest just until chunky for texture.
  3. Stir in diced onion, chopped tomato, minced jalapeño, and cilantro. Add lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to combine.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, lime, or jalapeño as needed.
  5. Spoon guacamole into a serving bowl and shape into a monster-ish mound using the back of a spoon.
  6. For each eye, place a cherry tomato slice cut-side up on the guacamole, then top with a black bean ‘pupil.’ Make 2-6 eyes as desired.
  7. Use a piping bag or zip-top bag (or a spoon) to add sour cream ‘teeth,’ fangs, or a smile. Add tortilla chips or veggie sticks around the edges for monster hair or antennae.
  8. Serve immediately with chips and veggies. If making ahead, cover base guacamole with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface and refrigerate up to 1 hour; decorate just before serving.

Notes

For best results, use perfectly ripe avocados and add lime juice immediately to prevent browning. Decorate just before serving for the freshest look. Let kids help with decorating for extra fun. For a vegan version, use dairy-free yogurt or hummus for the monster face. If making ahead, store the base guacamole tightly covered and add decorations right before serving.
