Prep Time: 1 hour | Cook Time: 0 minutes | Total Time: 1 hour
Ingredients
- 1 pumpkin, wiped clean and dried
- 2–3 cups guacamole (store-bought or homemade, chunky works best)
- Tortilla chips, for serving
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Draw a large circle on the bottom of your pumpkin with a Sharpie. This should be big enough to fit your hand inside.
- Use a sharp paring knife to cut out the circle and remove the piece of shell. Set it aside.
- With a large spoon, scoop out all the seeds and stringy pulp from the inside of the pumpkin until smooth.
- Choose one side of the pumpkin for the “face” and carve out round eyes, a nose, and a wide open mouth for the vomit effect.
- Replace the bottom circle of the pumpkin so it sits flat. Place the pumpkin on a tray or large plate.
- Spoon guacamole in front of the mouth and pile it so it looks like the pumpkin is puking. Spread it onto the tray for dramatic effect.
- Surround the guacamole with tortilla chips for dipping and serve immediately.
Pro Tips
- For a chunkier look, use homemade guacamole with diced tomatoes, onions, and avocado. It creates a creepier “vomit” texture.
- Carve the pumpkin the day of your event to keep it fresh. If needed, rub petroleum jelly on the carved edges to slow browning.
- Don’t move the pumpkin after adding the guacamole—place it directly where you plan to serve.
