Ingredients
- 1.04 pounds frozen chopped avocado or 472 gram
- ¼ cup almond butter or creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoon chocolate protein powder
- ¾ cup erythritol or more if you have a sweet tooth. You may replace with another type of powdered sugar substitute such as monk fruit or even confectioner's sugar.
- ⅛ teaspoon salt OPTIONAL
- ⅛ teaspoon instant coffee OPTIONAL
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients in a blender or food processor until completely smooth (soft serve consistency).
- Either serve our high protein ice cream right after making as soft serve, or freeze up to an hour in a freezer-safe container and then scoop out with an ice cream scoop.
- If freezing the ice cream, use a 24 to 48-hour frozen container to speed up the freezing process and cover with plastic wrap. Make sure the wrap touches the top surface of the ice cream.
- NOTE: If you’re not using a food processor, thaw the frozen avocados a little before blending in the blender so your blender will be able to handle.
