Ingredients

  • 3 medium Haas avocados
  • 1 1/2 cups coconut milk
  • 3/4 cup cocoa
  • 6 tablespoons low carb sweetener (or other sweetener, as desired. See notes)
  • 1-3 tablespoons MCT oil (optional--for creaminess)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon gelatin (an optional thickener--use arrowroot for vegan version)
  • 3/16 teaspoon stevia (or alternative. 3/16 teaspoon is the equivalent of 6 tiny "scoops" -- see Recipe Notes for more info.)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place all ingredients into the bowl of a food processor or into a blender.
  2. Process until smooth.
  3. Place blended ice cream base into ice cream maker and follow manufacturer's instructions to freeze the ice cream. For faster ice cream making, place the blended base into the refrigerator for about 2 hours to chill prior to making the ice cream.
  4. Serve immediately. If not serving immediately, thaw for 5-10 minutes after removing from freezer and then use an ice cream scoop to serve.

Notes

  • Stevia: For tips on stevia, see How to Use Stevia. Also, here is a great brand of stevia scoops.
  • THM: This recipe qualifies as an "S" for those on the Trim Healthy Mama plan as long as you use gelatin if using a thickener.
  • Granulated Sweetener: If you use a granulated sweetener such as xylitol, blending it before adding it to the other ingredients will result in a smoother texture.
  • Thickener: You should be fine not using a thickener if you use MCT oil.  I would definitely use a thickener otherwise, though, as it really helps improve the texture of the recipe.
