Equipment

  • 1 Ice Cream Maker
  • 1 High Speed Blender

Ingredients
  

  • 27 Ounces Full Fat Coconut Milk
  • ¾ Cup Coconut Sugar
  • ⅔ Cup Cacao Powder
  • ½ Cup Ripe Avocado
  • 3 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • ½ Teaspoon Salt

Instructions
 

  • Start by adding full fat coconut milk, cacao powder, avocado, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, and salt into a high-powered blender. Blend the ice cream mixture on high until it's smooth and creamy.
  • Next, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn for 20-25 minutes.
  • Transfer the ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe container and place in the freezer until you're ready to enjoy!

Notes

Expert Tips

  • If you don't have an ice cream machine, pour the ice cream mixture into a freezer safe container and freeze for about 4-6 hours or overnight.
  • When it comes out of the ice cream maker it has more of a soft serve ice cream consistency, but you can transfer it into a container and freeze for 30-60 minutes for harder ice cream.
  • The ice cream base for the Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker must be stored in the freezer for 24 hours prior to making the ice cream.
  • On a hot day this ice cream will melt quickly once removed from the ice cream maker. I recommend freezing longer so it can harden before scooping.
  • For best results I recommend using an ice cream maker, but you can use a no churn method by freezing the mixture for 6-8 hours or overnight.

How to Store Leftovers

Store leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. If the container does not have a cover, it will get freezer burn.
Leave the ice cream at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
