Avocado “Nice Cream”

Mint chocolate chip is one of my favorite flavors of ice cream. However, since I found out I was lactose intolerant in college, I’ve pretty much had to say bye-by to this summertime treat.

While there are some truly delicious dairy-free alternatives in the frozen aisle these days, I’ve yet to find a nondairy mint chocolate chip ice cream that passes the test for me.

So why not just make our own?!

One of the things you have to look-out for when shopping for non-dairy ice creams is the sugar content. Just because they’ve omitted dairy doesn’t mean they’re actually healthy! Some of those dairy-free ice creams still have a lot of sugar.

That’s why I love this homemade avocado ice cream — not only is it dairy-free, but it’s sweetened naturally with honey, and only lightly so! That’s why we call it nice cream!

It’s a guilt-free treat that the whole family will love!

How to Make Avocado Ice Cream

Cut avocados in half and remove pit. Scrape avocado flesh into high-powered blender or food processor then add honey, coconut milk, salt, and mint extract.

TIP: We suggest starting with 2-3 drops of mint extract because it is usually pretty strong, but you’re welcome to add more if you like your ice cream extra minty.

Blend until smooth and creamy.

Stir in chocolate chips by hand, then pour avocado ice cream batter into a small loaf pan. Use a silicone spatula to smooth the top of the ice cream.

    1. Hi Johanna,
      Yes, any full-fat milk (or mylk) will work as a substitute. We prefer coconut milk, cashew milk or whole dairy milk as the fat lends to a more creamy ice cream. We have not tried soya milk but almond milk has worked for other readers.
