Ingredients

• 2 ripe avocados (about 1 cup mashed)
• 1 cup full-fat coconut milk (or any plant-based milk)
• 1/2 cup pure maple syrup (or agave syrup for a milder sweetness)
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (adds brightness and balances richness)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of sea salt
• Optional: 2 tablespoons cocoa powder for chocolate flavor or 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves

Equipment

• Blendtec blender (or any high-speed blender)
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Spatula
• Freezer-safe container with lid
• Spoon for serving

Instructions

1. Prepare the avocados: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into the Blendtec jar.
2. Add the liquids: Pour in the coconut milk, maple syrup, lime juice, and vanilla extract over the avocado. Add a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavors.
3. Blend until smooth: Secure the lid and blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides with a spatula as needed to ensure even blending.
4. Customize your flavor (optional): If you want chocolate avocado ice cream, add the cocoa powder and blend again for 30 seconds. For a fresh twist, add mint leaves and pulse a few times until incorporated.
5. Chill or serve immediately: For soft-serve texture, serve right away. For a firmer consistency, pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container, cover, and freeze for 2-3 hours. Stir halfway through to prevent ice crystals.
6. Serve and enjoy: Scoop into bowls or cones and garnish as desired.

Tips & Variations

“Use ripe avocados for the creamiest texture. If your avocados aren’t quite ripe, let them sit on the counter for a day or two before making this ice cream.”

For a sweeter or more tart profile, adjust the maple syrup and lime juice to your taste. You can also experiment with different plant milks like almond, oat, or cashew for subtle flavor differences.

Want to add texture? Stir in chopped nuts, vegan chocolate chips, or shredded coconut after blending.

For a tropical vibe, add a handful of frozen pineapple chunks before blending.

If you don’t have a Blendtec, any high-speed blender will work, but Blendtec’s powerful motor ensures the smoothest result.
