Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 avocados, ripe, peeled and pitted
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) heavy cream
- 1 can (14 ounces / 397 grams) sweetened condensed milk
Flavoring Ingredients:
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) milk
- Juice of 1 lime
Instructions
- Prepare the creamy base by combining ripe avocados, sweetened condensed milk, fresh lime juice, heavy cream (237 milliliters / 8 fluid ounces), and whole milk in a high-powered blender.
- Pulse and blend the ingredients until achieving a silky, uniform consistency, ensuring no avocado chunks remain visible.
- If the mixture appears overly dense, gradually incorporate an additional 118 milliliters (4 fluid ounces) of heavy cream, gently stirring to maintain a smooth texture.
- Transfer the verdant mixture into a freezer-safe container with a secure lid, spreading it evenly to promote consistent freezing.
- Allow the mixture to rest in the freezer for approximately 4 hours, enabling the flavors to harmonize and develop depth.
- Remove the chilled mixture and pour it into a pre-chilled ice cream maker, churning for 15-20 minutes until it reaches a soft, gelato-like consistency.
- For a softer serving, scoop and enjoy immediately with a garnish of lime zest or mint leaves.
- For a firmer texture, return the churned ice cream to the freezer for an additional 2-3 hours, allowing it to solidify completely before serving.
- Store the avocado ice cream in an airtight container, consuming within 5-7 days for optimal freshness and flavor.
