Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe avocados
- 400 ml full-fat coconut milk
- 6 pitted Medjool dates
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
Start by ensuring all ingredients are ready. Pit the Medjool dates and set them aside. Scoop the flesh out of the avocados and discard the skins and seeds.
In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the avocados, coconut milk, pitted dates, lime juice, lime zest, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt.
Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. This may take about 1-2 minutes, depending on your blender.
Taste the mixture and adjust if necessary—you might want to add more lime juice or a pinch of salt, depending on your preference.
Once smooth, pour the mixture into a chilled ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.
If you prefer a firmer ice cream, transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and place it in the freezer for about 2 hours.
Before serving, allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easy scooping.
Serve the creamy avocado ice cream in bowls and enjoy this refreshing Whole30-compliant treat!
