It has been hot here…like crazy super hot.
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?
Easy ice cream that doesn't need an ice cream maker. Avocado and chocolate chip give it a fun and healthy twist.
Ingredients
- 2 c. heavy whipping cream
- 1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 c. miniature chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, beat the whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Smash the avocado and then stir it into the condensed milk. Fold the whipped cream in.
- Gently stir the chocolate chips into the mixture. Spoon into a freezer safe container and freeze until solid or overnight.
Notes
Chill the bowl and whipping blade for 30 minutes before making the ice cream. It will speed up your whipping time.

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!
Jocelyn says
It just proves I am not so crazy after all:-) Good to know others use popsicles for other sweets too!! Popsicles sound great!!!
Something Swanky says
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…
Lisa @ Flour Me With Love says
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 🙂
Megan says
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!
Jeanette says
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.
The Better Baker says
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!
Katie says
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!
TheLittleKitchen says
Just wow is all I can say. I agree with the other commenters, you’re not crazy…you’re a crazy genius!
Stacey says
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!
Janine Thompson says
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~!
Mary. says
I love this recipe! Except, I’ll just use 2 Avocados, and omit the chocolate chips.
Staci says
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 🙂
Jocelyn Brubaker says
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.
Mary. says
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. 😉
