Here you can see it out of the ice cream machine. It took a good while to set...about 20 mins. I was surprised on how much "cold" it needed. Gotta love the green color!
I had avocados in the fridge. They are similar to eggs as far as protein and fat content, making them well suited for ice cream.
1.5 cups whole mik
1 cup light cream
2 avocados, peeled and seeded
1 Tbsp lemon juice
Finely chopped lemon basil (last minute addition to blender)
Blend, chill in fridge, freeze in ice cream machine.
Serve right out of the ice cream machine for soft texture. Put in airtight container and leave in freezer for 2 or 3 hours for a firmer texture. I sprinkled a little coarse sea salt on top after I dished out the ice cream. It was a nice sweet/salty contrast and plays to the flavor of the avocado (think guacamole...sort of). Yes, the ice cream does taste like avocados and it's wonderful :)
