Last week I made ice cream for breakfast…but I have a healthy, raw version that’s even more indulgent…perhaps a little more lunch-y. The secret ingredient is one of the richest, creamiest things found in nature…and also not something you associate with sweet treats: avocado.
Believe it or no, this raw chocolate ice cream tastes like the most amazing premium ice cream, and it is soooo easy to make. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, freeze it in a block and then whip it up a little before you serve it, or just omit the water and have decadent – and great for you – chocolate pudding. This is the best recipe for when all the avocados are suddenly ripe at once, and you need to use ‘em up!
Raw Chocolate (Avocado!) Ice Cream
2 quite ripe avocados
½ agave nectar
1 cup water (omit or add to desired consistency to make pudding)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup cocoa powder
Blend all ingredients in a blender. Pour into ice cream maker, and let it do its magic. Eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner…or maybe even dessert! Raw appétit!
