And Skylar loves avocados, especially locally grown avocados.
And I like using up extra bananas I have laying around. I have a whole What to Make with Ripe Bananas post, too But back to that “ice cream” and the recipe, you see, Scott loves the real kind of ice cream…
…But what I made isn’t the real kind. But he still loved it.
Just blend everything together and either eat immediately or freeze extras for later. Easy.
How does it taste? Wonderful! Would I call my “ice cream” Ben & Jerry’s? No. I would call it better than Ben & Jerry’s. Yes!
I am very picky with desserts. I have a raging sweet tooth, I love fattening, sugary, buttery, rich, decadent, creamy, luxurious desserts and this passes muster. The avocado really makes it oh-so-creamy and the sweetness from the banana and the sugar help it to really become “ice cream”. If this recipe looks similar to you, it’s because it’s a spin-off of my Vanilla Avocado Banana Smoothie In A Bowl
The ice cream, however, is sweeter and much thicker than the smoothie. As ice cream should be.
Even if you don’t like avocados, it’s ok. You will still like this, I promise. From my last post about Trips, Workshops, & Conferences it sounds like some of you are going to try to attend some in the future. Me too. I’ve got a few things on the horizon that I’m really excited about! Tried this recipe? Leave a review! Consider leaving a 5 star rating if you’ve made and loved one of my recipes! Questions
Have you ever made your own ice cream or “ice cream”? I hesitate to use quotation marks once around “ice cream” because for me this recipe is just as good as real ice cream. I cannot eat real ice cream; something about the dairy in ice cream or frozen yogurt just kills my stomach. I can drink cream in my coffee, but I just can’t eat ice cream. But since the avocado in this recipe adds such a layer of creaminess, and it’s well-sweetened recipe, I didn’t miss the real ice cream. Nor did Scott who’s the pickiest person when it comes to ice cream! And for anyone who doesn’t like avocados, I promise tt doesn’t “taste” like an avocado. Nor does my Raw Vegan Chocolate Mousse It’s kind of like people who say they don’t like tofu. Really? Follow these tofu preparation & cooking steps and then tell me if you still don’t like tofu. I bet you’ll change your mind.
Do you like avocados? Yes, in all forms! I have Cheater’s Guacamole in case you’d rather keep your avos savory rather than sweet.
Best thing you’ve ate or done this weekend? Being on the beach in Aruba with Skylar for me has been awesome.
