I made something really crazy…
you are going to have to trust me that it was really good.
 
It has been hot here…like crazy super hot.
The past week it has been over 100*.
All we have done is swim, stay inside, and eat ice cream.
We can beat you heat!!!
There was a ripe avocado on my counter just begging to be used.
Now usually it goes into guacamole.  Mmmm that’s one of my favorite snacks.
But I was feeling crazy, and all of a sudden
I had this idea to put it into ice cream.
 
No, I haven’t been sitting in the hot sun for too long…
and no I haven’t lost my mind…yet.

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 chip ice cream disappeared pretty quickly.

Are you convinced enough to try it???
Or have I grossed you out completely this time?

    Thank goodness you re-posted this recipe. It’s finally getting hot out, and Summer feels, like it’s about to come to a close. 😉

    I don’t know if I did something wrong but mine turned BRIGHT green! No way I can trick my husband that it’s “just” ice cream. Whoops 🙂

      That’s strange. Mine really was light, light green. How ripe was your avocado? I wonder if that had something to do with it. Tell him it’s mint chocolate chip 🙂 Seriously that’s what my kids thought for a little bit.

    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~!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

      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:-)

    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!

    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 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!
