Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup honey, or another liquid sweetener
- 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
- 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips use dairy-free chocolate chips if needed
Instructions
- Add the avocados, almond milk, sweetener, melted coconut oil, and peppermint extract to a high-speed blender.
- Blend everything until the mixture becomes smooth, creamy, and evenly combined.
- Add the chocolate chips and gently stir them into the mixture.
- Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container. A loaf pan lined with parchment paper works well for easy removal later.
- Place the container in the freezer and allow the ice cream to firm up for about 4 to 5 hours.
- When ready to serve, remove the ice cream from the freezer and leave it at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes so it can soften slightly.
- Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy your homemade frozen treat.
Notes
- You can use the liquid sweetener that best fits your taste preferences. Maple syrup and honey both work well, but other alternatives can also be used. If you prefer a lower-sugar version, consider using stevia or another sugar-free sweetener instead.
