Can You Freeze Leftover Guacamole?

Choose Fresh Guacamole The best guacamole to freeze is fresh, preferably made without any added ingredients like tomatoes or onions that might not freeze as well.

Prevent Browning Guacamole tends to brown due to oxidation. To prevent this, add lime or lemon juice to your guacamole before freezing. You can also place a layer of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole to limit air exposure.

Use an Airtight Container Transfer the guacamole into an airtight container or a freezer-safe bag. For added protection, consider placing a layer of plastic wrap over the guacamole before sealing the container. This minimizes exposure to air and preserves its color and flavor.

Freeze in Portions If you don’t want to freeze the entire batch, divide the guacamole into smaller portions before freezing. This way, you can thaw just the amount you need.

Label and Date Label your container or bag with the date so you can keep track of how long it’s been in the freezer. Guacamole can be frozen for up to 3 months for the best taste and quality.

Thawing and Texture When you’re ready to use the frozen guacamole, thaw it overnight in the fridge. While freezing can alter the texture (it might be a bit more watery or mushy), stirring it well after thawing can help restore some of its original consistency.

Freezing guacamole is a great way to extend its shelf life, but for the best taste and texture, it's ideal to consume it within a few months.
