Avocado Ice Cream
Description
This recipe transforms ripe avocados into a dairy-free ice cream by combining them with almond milk, a liquid sweetener such as maple syrup or honey, coconut oil, and peppermint extract for a fresh, cool note. Blending these ingredients creates a creamy, smooth base where the natural richness of avocado provides body and a subtle flavor. Adding chocolate chips introduces textural contrast and a touch of chocolate sweetness throughout the ice cream.
After blending, the mixture is poured into a freezer-safe container and left to set for about 4-5 hours until firm. Letting it sit at room temperature briefly before serving softens the texture to make scooping easier and improves mouthfeel. This ice cream offers a unique alternative to traditional dairy options, emphasizing avocado's creamy qualities and a hint of minty freshness.
Sweetener choice can be adjusted according to preference or dietary needs. Substituting maple syrup with honey or another liquid sweetener is suitable, and stevia can be experimented with to reduce sugar content, although this may affect texture and sweetness balance.
Ingredients
- 2 avocado ripe
- ½ cup almond milk
- ¼ cup maple syrup honey or other liquid sweetener
- 1 Tablespoon coconut oil measured in a liquid state
- ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
- ¼ cup chocolate chips dairy-free if needed
Instructions
- Add all ingredients except for the chocolate chips into a high powered blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in chocolate chips and pour into a freezer-safe container. I used a loaf pan lined with parchment.
- Place container in the freezer to set. It should take about 4-5 hours.
- Once frozen, pull ice cream from the freezer, let sit out on the counter for 5-10 minutes to soften. Use an ice cream scoop to serve and enjoy!
Notes
- You may use different liquid sweeteners in place of maple syrup, such as honey, depending on taste preferences.
- Stevia can be tried as a low-sugar alternative, but sweetness and texture may vary.
- Allow the ice cream to soften at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping for best texture.
