Ingredients
- 3 avocados ripe
- 2 cans (14 oz each) full fat coconut milk
- 3/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon mint extract
- 1 cup vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
- Chill a mixing bowl and a freezer-safe container in the freezer for 30 minutes.
- The day before making the ice cream, place the cans of coconut milk in the fridge upside down and let them sit overnight. Plan in advance; this is a very important step. It will separate the coconut cream from the coconut water.
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and spoon the flesh into a food processor or high-speed blender.
- Turn the cans of coconut milk upside down, and open them; the hard coconut cream will be on top now.
- Spoon the coconut cream into the blender, and save the remaining coconut water for a smoothie or drink it.
- Add maple syrup and mint extract to the blender and blend on medium-high speed until thoroughly combined and smooth, about 3-4 minutes.
- Pour the ice cream mixture into the chilled mixing bowl and stir in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the ice cream mixture into the chilled freezer-safe container, cover the top with plastic wrap so it touches the ice cream, close it with the lid, and freeze for 6 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, let the ice cream stand at room temperature for 20-30 minutes. Enjoy!
Notes
- Since avocados are the key ingredient in this delightful dessert, ensure they are perfect. Because it can be difficult to find several perfectly ripe avocados at the same time at most grocery stores, I usually get them before they are ripe and let them ripen at home. A ripe avocado is dark green or almost black with bumpy skin that yields to gentle pressure but is not mushy or soft. Do not choose a bruised one or one with a stem that falls off easily and is underneath brown.
- To get underripe avocados, choose lighter green ones that are firm with solid stems. Then, bring them home and place them on the counter to ripen. If I plan on making mine soon, I put them in a paper bag with an apple or a banana to get them to ripen quickly. With this method, they will ripen in a day or two because the ethylene from the fruit helps them ripen.
- Be sure to place a piece of plastic on top of the ice cream and ensure it touches the top to prevent crystals from forming when freezing it. This also helps prevent browning. Remove it from the freezer 20-30 minutes before serving for easier scooping. Chill the cans of coconut milk upside down overnight to separate the cream from the coconut water. This is VERY important because I only use the cream in this recipe. Don’t toss out the coconut water. Use it for a smoothie or drink it. They sell this delicious beverage for ridiculous prices because it tastes excellent and is healthy. I recommend Haas avocados for this ice cream because they are the smoothest.
