I’m participating in an online Iron Chef competition with friends. Our mystery ingredient this week was avocado. Having just received an ice cream maker attachment for my beloved Kitchenaid, I decided it was destiny that I’d seen an Alton Brown recipe for Avocado Ice Cream a couple of weeks ago.
What you need:
Start by peeling and pitting your avocados. Mix with lemon juice, milk and sugar. Alton calls for a blender, but I don’t own one (nor does my mom, who’s kitchen I’ve taken over).
Her trusty immersion blender did just fine for us.
As with everything, Monkey was all too eager to help.
Whisk in the heavy cream, cover and chill 4-6 hours (until it reaches a temperature of 40F or lower).
Process in your ice cream maker, according to manufacturer’s instructions.
It sets up fairly quickly (it took mine about 10 minutes).
You can serve immediately if you prefer soft serve. We put ours in the freezer over night for a Sunday afternoon snack.
Mmmmm. It didn’t taste as I expected. While it’s not my favorite (chocolate!), I enjoyed the creamy nutty flavor.
Enjoy!
