Avocado Ice Cream

Avocado Ice Cream

My family enjoys avocados. I use avocados in making dips, California sushi rolls , salads and as a mayo replacement for sandwiches. I also use avocados to make cleansing facial masks. :)

Is avocado a fruit or a veggie? According to about.com -" the avocado is widely considered a vegetable, since it is commonly used in salads. However, it is actually a fruit that tastes like a vegetable, and most markets display it with other typical fruits."

Since I haven't tried to make dessert out of an avocado, now shall we experiment.This recipe doesn't require a machine to make avocado ice cream.

2 Haas avocados peeled & pitted

1/2 cup evaporated milk

1/3 cup condensed milk

1 cup whipped cream

In a food processor or blender, puree the avocados until smooth, then gradually add the evaporated milk and condensed milk. Then fold gently with the whipping cream. Pour the avocado mixture in a glass or plastic container with a lid & freeze for 2-3 hrs. Take the container out of the freezer and start mixing the ice cream with a fork. Freeze overnight. Just before serving, let it sit in the fridge for few min until the cream softens a bit, then serve.
