Description

This creamy and refreshing Avocado Ice Cream recipe combines ripe avocados, frozen banana, and coconut milk for a dairy-free frozen treat. Sweetened naturally with maple syrup and infused with fresh mint, it offers a smooth, tropical flavor perfect for a healthy dessert any time.

Ingredients

Avocado Ice Cream Ingredients

  • 1 (14-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk (refrigerated overnight)
  • 2 avocados, halved, pitted, and peeled
  • 1 ripe banana, cut and frozen
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 4-5 fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Chill Pan: Place a loaf pan in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours to ensure it is cold enough for freezing the mixture evenly.
  2. Prepare Mixture: In a high-speed blender, add the peeled and pitted avocados. Scoop only the solid cream portion from the refrigerated coconut milk can into the blender, reserving the liquid part for another use like smoothies. Add the frozen banana, maple syrup, lemon juice, and fresh mint leaves. Blend everything until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  3. Freeze: Pour the creamy mixture into the chilled loaf pan. Use the back of a spoon to spread it evenly. Cover and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm and scoopable.
  4. Serve: For best texture and flavor, remove the ice cream from the freezer and let it soften at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before scooping and serving.

Notes

  • Be sure to use full-fat coconut milk chilled overnight to separate the cream from the liquid for a better texture.
  • The frozen banana adds natural sweetness and creaminess, so adjust the maple syrup according to your taste preference.
  • Fresh mint adds a refreshing twist but can be omitted or substituted with other herbs like basil.
  • Store leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer to prevent ice crystals.
  • Allow softening time before serving for easier scooping and better mouthfeel.
