Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole ripe avocados
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 0.5 cup raw honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 4 whole pitted dates
Instructions
Start by halving and pitting the avocados. Use a spoon to scoop the flesh into a high-speed blender.
Add the coconut milk, raw honey, lime juice, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the blender.
Add the pitted dates to the mixture for added sweetness and creaminess.
Blend all ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness or lime juice according to your preference.
Pour the mixture into a chilled ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, generally about 15-20 minutes, or until it reaches your desired consistency.
If you prefer a firmer texture, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 1-2 hours.
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
Serve the ice cream scooped into bowls and enjoy your homemade paleo treat.
