This easy 6 ingredient avocado ice cream is the perfect healthy summer treat!
If you’ve never made homemade ice cream before, don’t worry! An ice cream maker isn’t even needed. With a good blender, a few simple ingredients and a freezer, you can make any flavor ice cream in no time.
Avocados have a naturally smooth and creamy texture that makes them perfect for a dairy-free yet ultra-rich “nice” cream. Add some natural sweetener with a banana and honey or maple syrup and you have a tasty treat you can feel good about eating!
This recipe is dairy-free, egg-free, gluten-free and sugar-free.
Ingredients:
3 ripe avocado
1 ripe banana
I can full fat coconut cream
1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
1/4 cup lime juice
8 mint leaves
Directions:
Blend all ingredients in a blender, pour into a silicone ice cream pan and freeze for at least 4-6 hours. If frozen for longer than that, you may want to let it thaw for 10-15 minutes before scooping.
You can play around with different variations of this ice cream:
add 2 tbsp of cocoa powder to make a chocolate avocado ice cream
Add more mint leaves or some peppermint extract to make a mintier ice cream
If you love nuts, some chopped up pistachios would taste great folded in to the ice cream
You can even put these into popsicle molds for a fun treat for the kids!
