First really warm weekend this season and finding some perfectly ripe avocados at Whole Foods, of course I have to make some avocado ice cream. With the KitchenAid ice cream-making bowl in the freezer always ready, it was a snap.
In case you were interested in the recipe, here it is:
- 2 ripe avocados, mashed with ¼ cup of sugar
- ¾ cup of whole milk
- ⅔ cup of sugar
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
That's it! Mix it all together, pour into the ice cream maker, and run on low for 20 minutes. Transfer to a freezer-safe container and keep it in the freezer for a few hours before enjoying. But it would be irresponsible of me to not send out this heads-up - even though avocado is a healthy food, this ice cream is not exactly fat- or carb-free. Consume moderately, enjoy immensely. Fair warning!
