Mint Chocolate Chip Avocado Ice Cream

Vegan Mint Chocolate Chip Avocado Ice Cream has only 5 ingredients and no ice cream machine is needed. It’s creamy, refreshing and also healthier.

Let’s move quickly to the important things and by important things I mean this amazing Avocado Ice Cream that I just can’t wait to share with you all!

You see, when it comes to desserts I am an ice cream enthusiast, I will ALWAYS choose the ice cream. I just can’t help myself, and quiet frankly, I don’t want to help myself. Ice cream to me is its own food group, and should I say the most AMAZING food group.

It seems that baby S (my adorable son Sebastian) has the same unconditional love for ice cream. I don’t want to starve the child from the beauty of enjoying an ice cream, so we made together this delicious Mint Chocolate Chip Avocado Ice Cream that also happens to be vegan.

Baby S loves to help in the kitchen, and he knows that he should not touch the food, because mommy “made it nice” to take a photo. Its quiet hilarious how he hangs out patiently by my side and says that he is also taking pictures.

The Avocado Ice Cream was a huge success, especially since it’s no churn, you don’t need an ice cream machine to make it and it only has 5 ingredients. It takes just a few minutes to combine all the ingredients, do a few quality taste checks and pop it into the freezer.

Baby S had lots of fun stirring in the chocolate chips and licking the spatula clean. The Avocado Ice Cream naturally has a beautiful and vibrant green color that he absolutely loved.

The Avocado Ice Cream is incredibly creamy and smooth, no one would ever suspect that its vegan. Full fat coconut milk adds a nice tropical touch and extra creaminess. I am a huge fan of the mint chocolate chip flavor and so is Baby S, so we added a little mint extract and a lot of vegan chocolate chips.

Like I mentioned before, this Vegan Mint Chocolate Chip Avocado Ice Cream is very easy to make, all you need is a high speed blender, even a food processor will work. All the ingredients get blended, except chocolate chips, which you have to stir in after and you are done. Put it in the freezer and patiently wait for it to freeze.

This ice cream tends to get very hard in the freezer, so before you try to scoop it and serve it, leave it on the counter at room temperature for 10-15 minutes. Patience is key to enjoy a delicious, smooth and creamy ice cream.

Creamy and crunchy from the chocolate chips, with a beautiful mint flavor, this avocado ice cream is not overly sweet and it’s very refreshing!

This healthful fruit avocado adds a buttery feel to the ice cream without the need for heavy cream or egg yolks. Avocados are high in healthful fats, fibre, and nutrients like folate and vitamin E, and are widely regarded as a “wonder food” (more Avocado recipe here). They’re also an excellent reason to return for another scoop!

MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP AVOCADO ICE CREAM

INGREDIENTS

• 3 large ripe avocados
• 2 cans (14 ounces each) of full fat coconut milk
• ¾ or 1 cup maple syrup, depends on how sweet you prefer it
• ½ teaspoon mint extract
• 1 cup vegan chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS

1. The day before making the ice cream, place the cans of coconut milk in the fridge overnight upside down. Plan in advance, as this is a very important step, it will segregate the coconut cream from the coconut water.
2. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit and spoon out the avocado flesh into a food processor or high speed blender.
3. Turn the cans of coconut milk upside down, and open them, the hard coconut cream will be on top now.
4. Spoon out the coconut cream into the blender and save the remaining coconut water for a smoothie or drink it.
5. Add maple syrup and mint extract to the blender and blend on medium high speed until fully combined and smooth, about 3-4 minutes.
6. Pour the ice cream mixture into a freezer safe bowl, stir in the chocolate chips, cover the top with plastic wrap, close the bowl and place in the freezer for 6 hours or overnight.
7. Before serving, let the ice cream stand at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.
8. Enjoy!

Just check how creamy it looks, and the best part is that you can indulge in it guilt free!

To Store: Freeze the ice cream for up to 3 months in an airtight container. Remove homemade ice cream from the freezer approximately 10 minutes before serving because it freezes harder than store-bought (it doesn’t contain the additives that most store-bought ice creams do).

Avocado ice cream is a delicious and nutritious treat that is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth! If you’re looking for a unique twist on your favorite ice cream, give this recipe a try. Let us know if you have any questions or feedback in the comments below!
