Just a quick and fun little recipe to use up those avocados on your counter.
Yep, avocados.
In vegan ice cream!
Creamy, delicious and good for you.. what more can a girl ask for??
(PS – can you spot my newest cookbook addition sitting on top of my beloved Veganomicon??)
Frozen Mint Chocolate Swirl
2 ripe avocados
1 cup almond milk
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon pure mint extract
In a blender, puree all ingredients until smooth. Chill overnight and freeze in your ice cream maker. Once the ice cream is finished, but before you stop the machine, drizzle in chocolate. You could melt some chocolate chips with a bit of oil or mix up some quick “syrup” out of cocoa powder, sugar, canola oil and a bit of water.
If you aren’t devouring it immediately, make sure you let it sit at room temp for about 5 minutes before you try to scoop it!
No way!!! Avocados as ICE CREAM?!?! How delicious! <3 <3 <3
It’s definitely a pleasant surprise! You can’t really taste the avocado but it adds a beautiful natural green to the ice cream.
I just had my teeth worked on today…I could use a few scoops of this! Thank you for sharing yet another delicious concoction. I’m sitting down with a tall cup of almond milk and a coconut cooking. Perfect accompaniments to blog reading! I hope you are having a blessed week!
I hope your sore teeth are feeling better! Thanks for stopping by and I hope the last half of your week goes wonderfully!
The icecream looks awesome, and your copy of Veganomicon is so clean! Mine is gross and dirty – but well loved!
Thanks, Sarah! Haha – I’m kinda obsessive about keeping my cookbooks pristine. It does have a big dent in it from when I dropped it, though! =)
