Put your avocado, vinegar, garlic clove, anchovies, lemon juice, lime juice, and sugar in a blender. Blend until pureed. 

While the motor is running, pour in your 3/4 cup olive oil in a steady stream. Whisk in the heavy cream.  Stir in your chopped basil, parsley, tarragon, and shallot. Season with salt and pepper. Taste it -- it's good!
