Making ice cream that’s tasty, contains health-boosting ingredients and doesn’t require a fancy machine is possible. This Cocoa Avocado Ice Cream is the perfect example of this as it uses sugar, cocoa powder, avocados, vanilla extract and chocolate. These ingredients are blended in a food processor until a smooth mixture forms. The ice cream base is then frozen before it’s ready to scoop and serve. It’s a feel-good treat that will satisfy your ice cream cravings, especially if you’re a fan of the chocolate flavored variety!
Using fresh avocado provides the ice cream with a velvety consistency and healthy omega-3 fats. This makes your homemade ice cream delicious and nutritious. Plus, you won’t even notice that it’s made with avocados thanks to the other ingredients. Do you like making ice cream at home? Let us know in the comments section!
