I made the avocado ice cream recipe from the current Mary Jane's Farm last night. The taste is delicious, and with only four ingredients I know it's so much healthier than the stuff from the store. Plus, I've never seen avocado ice cream anywhere. It has a very unique flavor. The lemon makes it tart but the avocado keeps it very smooth.
My only issue was that the texture was a little too "icy" for me. I froze it in the freezer as the recipe suggested. But I'm wondering if it would've worked in an ice cream maker. I'm thinking that would've improved the texture somewhat. I'm pretty sure it's something I've messed up, not a recipe problem! Anyhow, just wondering if anyone else has tried it? And if you guys think it would also work in an ice cream maker. It's so yummy, I hate to waste a batch experimenting!
am planning on trying this as well, daughter and i ordered a NINJA blender for the trailer when camping and they showed ice cream being made with this. The ice cream may be our first item made... while camping! :)
I'm wondering if it will be more of a gelato type texture? I was absolutely THRILLED when I saw that recipe! What could a pregnant lady want more than avocado and ice cream on a hot summer day? Oh my goodness! I get my "mufa" AND my sweet cravings all fixed in one dish! I just love the recipes MaryJane has in her magazine! I bet it would be great with fresh raspberries! Since there is lemon in it I wonder if blueberries would go well with it too?
