Ingredients
Scale
- 3 avocados (ripe, peeled and pitted)
- 1 cup (240 ml / 8 fl oz) heavy cream
- 1 can (14 oz / 397 g) sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup (120 ml / 4 fl oz) milk
- Juice of 1 lime
Instructions
- Blend Base: Combine ripe avocados, sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, heavy cream, and whole milk in a high-powered blender until achieving a silky, uniform consistency with no visible avocado chunks.
- Adjust Texture: If mixture appears dense, gradually incorporate additional heavy cream, gently stirring to maintain smooth texture.
- Freeze Preliminary: Transfer verdant mixture into a freezer-safe container, spreading evenly, and allow to rest in freezer for 4 hours to harmonize flavors.
- Churn Creation: Pour mixture into pre-chilled ice cream maker, churning for 15-20 minutes until reaching soft, gelato-like consistency.
- Serve and Store: Scoop immediately for softer texture, garnishing with lime zest or mint leaves, or return to freezer for 2-3 hours for firmer composition. Store in airtight container and consume within 5-7 days for optimal freshness.
Notes
- Avocado Ripeness Matters: Choose fully ripe, dark green avocados that yield slightly when gently pressed to ensure a creamy, smooth texture without bitter undertones.
- Blending Technique: Pulse ingredients thoroughly to eliminate any avocado chunks, creating a silky, uniform base that prevents icy or chunky ice cream.
- Cream Adjustment Tip: Add extra heavy cream sparingly if the mixture seems too thick, maintaining a balanced, velvety consistency without diluting the flavor.
- Freezing Strategy: Allow sufficient freezing time for flavor development and texture refinement, understanding that patience yields a more delicious and smooth final product.
