- Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Once the white chocolate has cooled slightly but is still liquid, pour it into the blender or food processor with the avocado mixture.
- Blend again until everything is well combined and smooth.
- Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface of the mixture to prevent a skin from forming.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is thoroughly chilled.
- Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically for about 20-30 minutes until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

Avocado and white chocolate ice-cream FAQ:
Churn the ice cream for about 20-30 minutes, or until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. This time may vary based on your ice cream maker.
Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container, preferably a 1.5-quart vessel, to allow for proper freezing and easy scooping.
You can substitute with dark or milk chocolate, but the flavor and texture will change. Dark chocolate will create a richer ice cream, while milk chocolate will add sweetness.
Store the ice cream in an airtight freezer-safe container. It will keep well in the freezer for about 1-2 weeks, but for the best texture, consume it within a week.
You can substitute light sour cream with Greek yogurt for a similar tangy flavor and creamy texture, or use a dairy-free alternative like coconut yogurt if desired.
Tips:
- Use ripe avocados to ensure a smooth and creamy texture.
- Chill the mixture thoroughly before churning for best results.
- If you don’t have an ice-cream maker, you can freeze the mixture in a shallow dish, stirring every 30 minutes to avoid ice crystals forming.
- For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a pinch of sea salt or a splash of vanilla extract to the mixture.
- Serve with fresh berries or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an added touch of luxury.
