Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a blender or food processor.
- Pour 2 tablespoons of lime juice over the avocado in the blender. The lime juice helps to prevent the avocado from browning and adds a refreshing citrus flavor.
- Add 1 cup of sugar to the blender.
- Blend the avocado, lime juice, and sugar until smooth and no lumps remain. This should form a thick, creamy mixture.
- In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to whip 1 cup of heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. This will take a few minutes on medium-high speed.
- Gently fold the creamy avocado-sugar blend into the whipped cream using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream too much.
- Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and fold until the mixture is well combined.
- Transfer the mixture into an airtight container suitable for freezing.
- Smooth the top and cover with a lid or plastic wrap.
- Place the container in the freezer. Allow the ice cream to freeze for at least 4-5 hours or until firm. For the best texture, let it sit in the freezer overnight.
- Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
- Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy your homemade avocado ice cream!
Tips:
- Make sure your avocados are fully ripe for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least an hour before churning to help it set better.
- If you prefer a less sweet ice cream, you can adjust the sugar amount according to your taste.
- Add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness and enhance the flavors.
- For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding finely chopped nuts or chocolate chips just before the final freeze.
With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a luxurious avocado ice cream that is both refreshing and indulgent. The blend of creamy avocado, zesty lime, and sweet sugar creates a harmonious flavor that's perfect for any occasion. Enjoy your homemade avocado ice cream on a hot day or as a unique dessert to impress your guests.
