Avocado and lime ice cream recipe

No ice-cream maker required! A healthy option, perfect for kids.

Tips: Dip the top of ice cream cones in melted white chocolate and then sprinkle the chocolate with sugar sprinkles. Leave to dry (upside down) on parchment paper….

Fold through shards of fresh mint at the very end of stage 2 – then when it’s ready to serve, scoop into waffle cones and sprinkle with chopped pistachio nuts…

Ingredients
  • 4 (ripe) avocados
  • 2 limes, juice only
  • 200 g (7.1oz) caster sugar
  • 300 ml (10.6fl oz) double cream
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Step-by-step

  1. Place the avocado and lime juice in a blender and whizz up until it’s a smooth puree.
  2. Put the avocado-lime mix in a food processor with a whisk attachment (or use a handheld whisk) and add the double cream, caster sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk on a medium-high setting for about 3 minutes.
  3. Place in a freezable container for 3-4 hrs. (Any longer and it’s a bit hard to scoop out. This isn’t in itself a detriment to the recipe – just remember to let it thaw slightly before serving for a creamier ‘soft scoop’ effect).
