Avocado Lime Ice Cream

Ingredients

  • Lime syrup:
  • 1/4 cup (59ml) lime juice
  • 1/4 cup (50g) sugar
  • Ice Cream Base:
  • 3 medium ripe avocados
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (118ml) plain yogurt
  • 1/2 cup (118ml) milk
  • 1 cup (237ml) heavy cream
  • Pinch of salt

Preparation

Step 1

To prepare lime syrup, combine lime juice and sugar in a small saucepan and place over medium heat. Heat until sugar is dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour into a small bowl, cover and refrigerate until completely cool.
Before making ice cream base, make sure that all ingredients are well chilled. Slice avocados in half, remove pits, and scoop out the flesh into a blender or food processor. Add sugar, yogurt, milk, cream, and salt. Blend until smooth. Add lime syrup and pulse to combine (mixture will be thick). Pour into an ice cream maker immediately* and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours.
