Ingredients
-
2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
-
1 cup heavy cream or coconut milk (for dairy-free option)
-
½ cup sweetened condensed milk (or coconut condensed milk)
-
¼ cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
-
1 tbsp lime juice (or lemon juice)

1 tsp vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Instructions
Step 1: Blend the Ingredients
In a blender or food processor, combine the avocados, heavy cream (or coconut milk), sweetened condensed milk, honey, lime juice, vanilla extract, and salt.
Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
Step 2: Taste and Adjust
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more honey or syrup.
Step 3: Transfer to Container
Pour the blended avocado mixture into a loaf pan or freezer-safe container.
Smooth the top with a spatula.
Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent ice crystals.
Step 4: Freeze
Freeze for at least 4–6 hours, or until firm.
Step 5: Serve
Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5–10 minutes before scooping for easier serving.
Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy!
Notes
Use Very Ripe Avocados – They should be soft and creamy for the best texture.
Blend Until Super Smooth – Ensures a silky final product.
Cover Well – Keeps ice crystals from forming.
Let It Soften Slightly – Makes scooping much easier.
Customize It – Stir in chocolate chips, nuts, or a swirl of caramel!
