We had a warm afternoon, and my boys asked if we could make ice cream, since we haven’t made any in a couple of weeks now. Of course, I said yes.
We were at the bottom of our jar of milk, which – because it is raw and non-homogenized – is the leanest part (even though I shake it each time before pouring). I decided our ice cream needed something a bit creamier to spruce it up, so I added in two avocados. I promise you can’t taste the avocados in the ice cream, but they really enhance the texture. They made for wonderfully creamy ice cream.
Here’s the recipe for how I made it:
Ingredients
- 4 Bananas
- 2 avocados
- 2 cups milk of choice
- 6-8 tablespoons Cacao powder, to taste
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon ground vanilla beans
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients together until smooth. I did this in my high-powered blender, but you could also use a food processor.
- Pour ingredients into ice cream maker and process until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Serve and enjoy.
