Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 600 g coconut whipping cream (chilled overnight)
- 300 g avocados (weighed without pits or peel)
- 320 g vegan condensed milk
- 15 large fresh mint leaves (or 25 small leaves)
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 100 g dark chocolate (finely chopped)
Instructions
- Whip cream: In a large bowl, whip the chilled coconut whipping cream until it becomes light and airy, providing a fluffy base for the ice cream.
- Blend: In a high-speed blender, combine the avocado flesh, vegan condensed milk, fresh mint leaves, and peppermint extract. Blitz the mixture until completely smooth to ensure a creamy consistency.
- Fold: Gently fold the smooth avocado mint mixture into the whipped coconut cream in 3-4 parts using a rubber spatula, mixing carefully to maintain the airy texture.
- Add chocolate: Fold in the finely chopped dark chocolate pieces evenly throughout the ice cream mixture for delightful chocolate chips in every bite.
- Freeze: Transfer the combined ice cream mixture into a loaf pan. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for at least 5 hours, or until the ice cream is fully set.
- Serving: Remove the ice cream from the freezer about 15 minutes before serving to allow it to soften slightly for easy scooping. Use a hot ice cream scoop to serve.
Notes
- For best results, chill the coconut whipping cream overnight to ensure it whips properly.
- If vegan condensed milk is not available, it can be made by simmering non-dairy milk with sugar until thickened, or purchased pre-made.
- Adjust the amount of peppermint extract to taste if a stronger mint flavor is desired.
- Use ripe avocados for a smoother texture and enhanced creaminess.
- Make sure to finely chop the dark chocolate to distribute evenly throughout the ice cream.
