Stay with me…
I can honestly say, this was really, really good!!!
I had the same doubts as you, when the idea first popped into my head.
Then I smashed the avocado and stirred it into the condensed milk,
and I really starting doubting it.
I mean seriously, who puts avocados in their ice cream?
Apparently I do:-)
But after my first bite of the creamy goodness,
it was clear to me.
Avocado and ice cream were meant to be together.
Now I did “trick” my kids into eating this concoction of mine
by telling them it was just chocolate chip ice cream:-)
Although my daughter kept wanting to know what the little green specs were.
“It’s just sprinkles, honey”:-) hee hee!!!
No, I had to ‘fess up and tell them what I had put into it.
They looked at me like I was a little off my rocker,
(kinda how you probably look right now)
BUT they kept eating it.
Let’s just say all of the avocado ice cream disappeared pretty quickly.
Are you convinced enough to try it???
Or have I grossed you out completely this time:-)
- 2 c. heavy whipping cream
- 1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 c. miniature chocolate chips

I cannot even imagine putting avocados into my ice-cream, but I must admit this looks awesome!
It is one of the stranger things I have ever done…but oh so good!!!
This heat will make you do crazy things! Sounds good!
I agree with Ellen! Sounds totally crazy and I would never think to put them together, but man, that looks really good! Like dressed up, funkified chocolate chip ice cream. I’ll take a bite!
Yup, one of the funkiest chocolate chip ice creams ever…but it totally worked:-) Come on over for a bite!!!
Believe it or not, I think it sounds awesome!
I’d totally do it, I put bacon in my cookies
haha!!!
Avocado and chocolate – sounds like a winner.
I found this via Make Ahead Meals for Busy Moms. I have linked in a pork and apple curry. Have a super week.
I can’t wait to try it!!! Yippee, someone else is on the sweet avocado train with me. This is for sure going in my rotation. YUM.
I recently heard of avocado popsicles and I’ve been wondering ever since what avocado’s would taste like in ice cream! Oh my have you inspired me! I think the heat made you a genius! I can’t wait to try this, I have avocado’s to use up! Yeah!
Yay…good to know there are others out there making crazy good stuff from avocados. I bet popsicles would be awesome!!!
I think this looks like it would be great and refreshing on a hot summer day (which there is no shortage of right now). I will have to try it soon!
Wow we really are thinking alike! And avocado? That’s my kind of ice cream. My Sundays With Joy group would go nutty for this recipe!
Yess!!! I am SO glad you shared this at Must Try Monday. I saw it come up in my Google reader over the weekend, and was drooling over it. Thanks again for coming over and linking up!
Yes – definitely crazy, and that’s exactly why I like it!
I’m definitely gonna give it a try
Thanks so much for the crazy recipe
Jocelyn, this is such a cool idea! With an avocado’s creaminess, I can only imagine the smooth texture of this ice cream. And at 100+ degree temps here in Baltimore, I’ve been swimming in ice cream lately haha!
sounds very interesting! I will have to try this one!
I really, really want to try this kind of ice cream that requires no fancy machines! You make it seem soooo easy, Jocelyn…I like easy. Thanks for always sharing your creativity (and awesome pics…I covet your pics). Thanks, also for following us on FB (you were one of our first)! In my appreciate of YOU, I’m passing on the Versatile Blogger award to you, my blogger friend! Here’s the post that explains it to everyone, http://www.bakeitwithbooze.com/2012/07/versatile-blogger-award.html
Ellen you are the sweetest!!! I am so happy I found you through Dorothy (Crazy for Crust). Thank you so much for the awesome award:-)
Jocelyn, this sounds so interesting–and looks so good! What a good way to sneak in some veggies on the kiddos, too!!
You know, I have never had to sneak veggies in for my kids to eat them thankfully. But if they think something sounds strange then they won’t eat it. They actually really liked this strange mix:-)
I’m definitely with you on this one! I was putting avocado in smoothies a lot this past spring, and loving it. Into ice cream is clearly the next logical step. Good thinking!
Looks great! Sounds strange, but looks great! I’m going to have to try this one:)
I love avocados, ice cream, and chocolate….so I dont see why I wouldnt want to try this! YUMMO and inventive my friend!
This looks so good! But one question, am I reading right that there’s no ice cream maker involved? I’ve never made ice cream before, so maybe it’s a silly question!
There is absolutely no need for the machine:-) Just mix it all together and freeze!!!
You know, we were in Texas and there was this ice cream place that had all kinds of different flavors- It was awesome. I am sure it tastes fabulous, and I just made avocado popsicles and they were pretty good. Pinning for safe keeping! Have a good day!
It just proves I am not so crazy after all:-) Good to know others use popsicles for other sweets too!! Popsicles sound great!!!
I’m still totally nervous about this– but I may give it a try. I CAN see how avocado might make it way creamier! That’s enough to intrigue me…
I can’t wait to try this! It sounds kind of weird, but I’m taking your word for it because all your recipes are delicious! Thanks so much for sharing
Wow this looks amazing. I made avocado cream pops in my Zoku Pop maker and have been looking for a good ice cream version. Can’t wait to try!
I love the idea of using creamy avocado in ice cream – if you flavored it with mint, avocado would be natural green coloring to this ice cream.
So along with calling you crazy, I’ll have to call you brilliant too! ;-} What a fantastic idea. You’re gonna have to come alongside Mrs. Seinfeld and write a book of your own ‘hiding’ stuff in recipes. MMMM!
O-M-G I’m all about this recipe! No egg and adding avocado! Love it! Thank you so much for joining in on Katie’s Cucina Virtual Ice Cream Social!
Just wow is all I can say. I agree with the other commenters, you’re not crazy…you’re a crazy genius!
I surprised my roommate with this last night and all we could say was WOW!!! This may be my new favorite! And it was so incredibly simple!
Add a bit of mint to this and you have mint cocolate chip with a natural color. I love it. I have never made icecream this way What is the texture like when it just freezes overnight? This gives me some good ideas~!
