Scoop out the zaboca (avocado) with a spoon.

Mash the zaboca with a fork until smooth or chunky, based on preference.

Add farine to the mashed zaboca to achieve a consistency suitable for forming balls.

Optionally add salt if the farine is not salted, or omit it completely.

Optionally add sugar for sweetness, or coconut if desired.

Squeeze the mixture before rolling it into balls.
