Description

Creamy, rich, and refreshingly unique, this Avocado Ice Cream blends ripe avocados, lime, and vanilla for a smooth, indulgent dessert. Made with simple ingredients, it’s naturally sweetened and can be adapted for a vegan-friendly treat.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 large ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream (or coconut cream for vegan option)
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk (or almond milk for vegan option)
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar (or honey/maple syrup for natural sweetness)
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Prepare the Avocado Base:

  • Scoop the avocado flesh into a blender or food processor.
  • Add sugar, lime juice, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.

2. Incorporate the Cream:

  • Gradually add the heavy cream and milk to the blender, blending until well combined.
  • Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.

3. Chill the Mixture:

  • Pour the avocado mixture into a bowl.
  • Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours until thoroughly chilled.

4. Churn the Ice Cream:

  • Transfer the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker.
  • Churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (about 20-25 minutes).

5. Freeze:

  • Spoon the churned ice cream into an airtight container.
  • Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.

6. Serve:

  • Scoop into bowls or cones.
  • Garnish with lime zest, a drizzle of honey, or crushed pistachios for added flair.
  • For a tropical twist, replace lime juice with lemon juice and add a hint of coconut extract.
