avocado ice cream Recipe
By hsaba
Avocados always remind me of a treat we used to eat in Burma and one that I particularly enjoy, an avocado shake. It was simply made with a ripe avocado, milk, a little condensed milk and sugar, resulting in a rich frothy drink. I have adapted this recipe into an ice cream which can be served as a dessert or a treat any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 large avocado, very ripe
- 25g superfine sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 120ml whipping cream
INSTRUCTIONS
- Scoop the flesh of the avocado into a liquidiser, add the milk and sugar then blend until smooth.
- Stir the cream into the mixture then pour into an ice cream maker, churn and freeze.
- If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the cream into a mixing bowl and whip until it forms soft peaks. Fold the avocado mixture into the cream and pour into a shallow plastic container. Freeze for 3-4 hours, stirring occasionally.
