Buttery avocados brightened with lime make for smooth, creamy, dairy-free ice cream. Add lime juice in small increments to taste—too little and the ice cream turns out bland, too much and it becomes overly savory.
If your diet permits white sugar, feel free to substitute an equal volume of it for the raw sugar in this recipe for a cleaner flavor.
Ingredients
- 4 cups diced avocado (about 30 ounces from 6 avocadoes)
- 1 cup raw (turbinado) sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon grated lime zest from 3 to 4 limes
- 4 to 6 tablespoons lime juice, to taste, from 3 to 4 limes
- Salt
Procedures
-
In a blender or food processor, combine avocado, sugar, water, lime zest, and 2 tablespoons lime juice. Blend until very smooth, about 30 seconds. Transfer to an airtight container and stir in remaining lime juice and salt to taste in small increments. Ice cream base should have a subtle lime flavor but should taste mainly like avocado. Chill in freezer until ice cream is firm enough to scoop, about 5 hours.Sourced from SeriousEats.com
