Ingredients:
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- Lime zest for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. Avocado Elegance:
- Begin by peeling and pitting the ripe avocados, then place the flesh in a blender.
- Add the coconut milk, honey or maple syrup, fresh mint leaves, pure vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the blender.
- Blend until the mixture is silky smooth and the mint leaves are fully incorporated.
2. Chill and Infuse:
- Cover the avocado mixture and refrigerate it for at least two hours. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld and the ice cream to set beautifully.
3. Churn to Perfection:
- Once thoroughly chilled, pour the avocado ice cream mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This typically takes about 20-30 minutes, creating a luxurious, mint-infused delight.
4. Freeze to Set:
- Transfer the freshly churned Minty Fresh Avocado ice cream into an airtight container.
- For an optional burst of flavor and visual appeal, sprinkle some lime zest on top before freezing.
- Freeze for a few hours until the ice cream reaches your desired firmness.
5. Serve and Savor:
- Scoop out generous servings of this creamy green oasis into bowls or cones.
- Minty Fresh Avocado is refreshing on its own, but you can always garnish with a few fresh mint leaves for a finishing touch.
