Avocado Ice cream Recipe

I know the sound of Avocado ice cream may sound weird to some people me included but when you try this recipe you would understand why it's a rave in many Mexican homes. It is yummy.

Avocados are a favorite around here especially for hubby and the girls. Making avocado ice cream didn't take much convincing for them to try it. In fact they were excited.

What is an Avocado?

An avocado also called avocado pear or alligator pear is a fruit from the berry family with one large seed. They are pear shaped or egg shaped with light to dark green thick skin. They have a light green fleshy meat which is eaten with relish by avocado lovers.

Is Avocado healthy? Health Benefits of Avocado

The health benefits of Avocados kind of Bump up the profile of this ice cream. Because of its amazing benefits, when you are not making avocado ice cream, you can easily incorporate avocados into salads like this Cobb salad, make it into a dip, hello guacamole, or eaten as is with a sprinkle of salt

Whatever you do enjoy avocados with relish your body will thank you for it. Below are some of these health benefits.

  • Avocados are rich in antioxidants which can be beneficial in the prevention of cancer.
  • They are an excellent source of potassium
  • Avocados are rich in fiber, this helps to keep you full for longer
  • They may help maintain blood sugar.

How many calories in an avocado

The Calories in avocados may vary by size. 1 medium avocado has 250 calories 23g of healthy fat. Based on this, half of a medium avocado would have 125 calories and 11.5g of healthy fats.

What does an Avocado or Avocado Ice cream taste like.

Avocados have a creamy rich and unique taste. The taste of avocados in this ice cream is barely noticeable. It would definitely please everyone's palate.

 

Where can I buy avocado ice cream?

Can you buy Avocado Ice cream? Yes you can buy avocado ice cream online or in your favorite grocery store like Whole Foods.

Cado ice cream is the popular and probably the only commercially produced avocado ice cream. I have heard good reviews but I haven't tried it myself. It comes in about 3 different flavors and it's dairy free.

With this recipe you won't need to buy avocado ice cream again. (except you are Vegan or can't eat dairy. I share how to make this homemade avocado ice cream dairy free further down this post)

How to make vegan / dairy free avocado ice cream

Making vegan avocado ice cream will need different ingredients. These ingredients include;

  • 2 avocados
  • Coconut cream from top of 1 can of coconut milk that has been refrigerated overnight.
  • ½ cup sugar or ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 ripe bananas cut up and frozen

Blend all ingredients in a powerful blender and freeze.

How to cut an avocado

Avocados have a huge seed in the middle that shouldn't be cut through. The way you cut an avocado may differ depending on what you are making with it.

If you are making salads you would want to cut it into pretty slices or cubes. If you are making ice cream or smoothies, being pretty isn't what you are looking for since you would be blending it anyway.

So here is how to cut an avocado

  • With a sharp knife, slice the avocado lengthwise till you feel the knife hit the pit then rotate the avocado while the knife is steady to make a cut all round the pit until you get to where you started. Twist to separate the two halves.
  • Hit the pit with the sharp edge of the knife then twist the knife to remove it.
  • If dicing, score the fleshy part of the avocado both vertically and horizontally to make square be careful not to pierce the skin. Gently scoop out with a spoon
  • If slicing, gently scoop out and slice pit side down.
  • If blending simply scoop out with a spoon and blend.

What type of Avocados do I use for this recipe

Ripe and firm avocados are best for ice cream, salads and smoothies. I like to use the Hass specie. Avocados move from not to over ripe so fast so you need to know when to catch them.

When buying avocados I prefer to buy the ones that are not soft at all when pressed. This way I know that in the next two to three days they will get ripe enough but not mushy. Never buy a soft to touch avocado except you intend to use it within a day.

How to store Avocado ice cream and how long will it keep.

Avocado ice cream is best stored in an ice cream bowl in the freezer. It is best consumed within 2 weeks.

One good thing about no churn ice cream is that they refreeze without change in texture unlike store bought ice cream. Which means if it melts abs you refreeze, the texture stays the same.

Notes

  1. Read through post for how to make Vegan/dairy free alternative.
  2. Just ripe avocadoes that are not too mushy is best for this recipe.
  3. Don't skip the the cling film step especially if your freezer container doesn't have a cover
  4. The lemon juice is optional, I rarely use it
  5. If you are not an avocado fan and you are worried the taste of avocados in this recipe may be overpowering, don't it's not. But to make you more comfortable to give it a try, you can start with one avocado and work up to two.
