Steps

1. 1

   Start by heating a medium pot of water until it reaches a boiling point. While waiting, get ready an ice bath and keep it aside for later use.

2. 2

   Boil the edamame beans vigorously until they are tender, which should take around 10 to 11 minutes. Once cooked, transfer the beans to a strainer and then immediately plunge them into an ice bath to halt the cooking process. After shocking in the ice bath, ensure that the beans are well drained before using them further in your recipe.

3. 3

   In a food processor, blend the avocado, lime juice, garlic, and jalapeño until smooth. Incorporate the edamame beans into the mixture and continue blending on high speed until well combined.
