Avocado Ice Cream
Description
This recipe combines peeled, pitted avocados with the solid part of refrigerated, full-fat coconut milk, frozen ripe banana, maple syrup, lemon juice, and fresh mint leaves in a high-speed blender. The ingredients blend to a creamy consistency that is poured into a pre-chilled loaf pan. It then freezes for at least four hours to set.
The frozen avocado mixture forms a smooth, rich ice cream without dairy. The banana lends body and natural sweetness, and the coconut milk adds depth and creaminess. Lemon juice adds a hint of brightness, and mint offers a fresh herbal note. Before serving, allowing the ice cream to soften for 10-15 minutes makes scooping easier.
For best texture and to minimize browning, cover the surface with plastic wrap tightly pressed to the ice cream before freezing. Eating within 48 hours preserves flavor quality and texture. Leftovers can be stored in the loaf pan or an airtight container in the freezer for later.
Ingredients
- 1 14- ounce coconut milk refrigerated overnight, can, full-fat
- 2 avocado halved, pitted and peeled
- 1 banana cut, and frozen, ripe
- 3 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 4-5 mint fresh
Instructions
- Chill a loaf pan in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
- In a high-speed blender, add the peeled and pitted avocados. Scoop out the solid part of the coconut milk into a blender and save the liquid part to use in another recipe (like a smoothie). Add the banana, maple syrup, lemon juice and mint leaves. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the mixture into the chilled loaf pan and use the back of a spoon to distribute evenly. Place in the freezer for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- For best results, let soften for 10-15 minutes at room temperature before serving.
Notes
- Consume the ice cream within 48 hours for optimal freshness and texture.
- Cover the surface tightly with plastic wrap touching the ice cream before freezing to reduce browning.
- Store leftovers in the loaf pan or an airtight container in the freezer.
