How could one little avocado have so much potential?
It’s not enough to be the star ingredient in a taco salad, but then it goes on to create a fantastic, five-minute, vegan, healthy – and dare I say it? delicious chocolate ice cream.
Don’t be scared – you can’t taste the avocado! Instead, the avocado brings a very smooth and creamy texture, and when blended with cocoa and ice, the ‘ice cream’ has a consistency and flavour very similar to soft serve.
The recipe as follows isn’t overly sweet, so feel free to add more sweetener as your tastebuds desire!
Choco-cado Ice Cream
inspired by The Fitnessista’s Choco-cado Pudding
- 3/4 avocado
- 1.5 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp agave nectar or honey
- 2 tbsp natural peanut butter
- 2 tbsp almond milk
- 2 cups ice*
Combine all ingredients in a high-speed blender*. Blend until smooth – serve immediately.
*If you don’t have a high-speed blender, try using crushed ice to start with!
