Being an ice cream lover, I'm game to try any flavor. And avocado is one that I've been dying to taste for a long time! So last weekend I gave it a shot in the ole ice cream maker. Despite it's similar green appearance to plain pistachio, this particular recipe consists of a creamy and refreshing puree of fresh avocados, lemon juice, superfine sugar and half and half. And right before it's tossed into the ice cream maker, a handful of chopped pistachio nuts and lemon zest are added. So simple for such bold results.
What you'll need: 1 quart
3 avocados (peeled and pitted)
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup superfine sugar (dissolves faster, less grainy)
2 1/2 cups half and half
1/4 cup chopped pistachio nuts
zest from 1/2 a lemon
In a blender, puree the avocados, lemon juice, sugar and half and half. Add in the nuts and lemon zest. Mix with a spatula until evenly incorporated. Spoon the mixture into your ice cream maker and follow instructions accordingly. Eat immediately or store in the freezer.
