Creamy, rich, and delightfully refreshing, this avocado ice cream recipe is a unique dessert that’s simple to make and perfect for summer.

Equipment

  • Blender or food processor
  • Mixing bowl
  • Ice cream maker (optional)
  • Freezer-safe container

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ripe avocados peeled and pitted
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup whole milk or coconut milk for a dairy-free option
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice optional, for added brightness

Instructions
 

  • Blend the base:
  • In a blender or food processor, combine the avocados, sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and lime juice (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy.
  • Whip the cream:
  • In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  • Combine:
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the avocado mixture until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix to maintain the light, airy texture.
  • Churn or freeze:
  • If using an ice cream maker: Pour the mixture into the ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • No ice cream maker: Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container. Cover with plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming. Freeze for 4–6 hours, stirring every hour to break up ice crystals for a creamier texture.
  • Serve:
  • Scoop the avocado ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy!
