I know it sounds gross, but it's one of my favorites.

Before you call me crazy, it's now also a favorite of a quarter-dozen of my friends too- and they doubted it initially.

It's really that good!

Avocado Ice Cream

Ingredients:

12 ounces avocado meat, approximately 3 small to medium avocados
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup heavy cream

Peel and pit (seed) the avocados.

Add avocados, lemon juice, milk, and sugar into a blender and puree.

Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl.

Add the heavy cream and whisk to combine ingredients.

Place the mixture into the refrigerator 4 to 6 hours to chill to 40 degrees F or below.

Pour the mixture in an ice cream maker and Process according to manufacturer's directions.

This mixture sets up very fast, usually only 5 to 10 minutes to process.

For soft ice cream, serve immediately- for firmer texture (I recommend this), place in freezer for 3 to 4 hours.

Enjoy!
