Notes

  • Use ripe avocados for the smoothest texture and best flavor.
  • Full-fat coconut milk creates the creamiest consistency. Avoid light coconut milk for this recipe.
  • Taste the mixture before freezing and add more honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter dessert.
  • If frozen for longer than a few hours, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before scooping.
  • For extra texture, top with shaved chocolate, chopped nuts, cacao nibs, or toasted coconut flakes.
  • Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
  • You won't taste the avocado. It simply creates a rich, creamy texture similar to traditional ice cream.
