Why We Love This Avocado Ice Cream Recipe
Although we’re big fans of classic ice cream made with dairy, we also try to have delicious options that guests can enjoy regardless of dietary preferences. Like our Coconut Milk Ice Cream, which is a terrific dairy-free ice cream recipe alternative to traditional vanilla ice cream! Here’s another vegan-friendly ice cream that will make everyone happy… This Avocado Ice Cream recipe is just as easy to make as any other version, with the help of an ice cream maker. It’s a super simple 4-ingredient dairy-free dessert that’s ultra-silky and rich due to a perfect combination of avocado and coconut. You’ll notice that the ice cream has a lovely light green hue. The avocado not only provides a fun color, smooth texture, and tons of vitamins – this beloved fruit adds a terrifically unique taste. It’s slightly sweet, a bit earthy, and buttery. And when mixed with the coconut, the Avocado Ice Cream spins into a vibrant tropical-flavored treat. There is a familiar yet exotic fruity flavor that’s unlike anything you’ve typically had at an ice cream shop! Try this fun summertime vegan recipe anytime you want a lighter, healthier, and still wonderfully tasty ice cream treat!
