If you love avocados and Mexican food as much as my family does, you’re going to be obsessed with this no churn Avocado Ice Cream recipe. Made with 2 ripe avocados and a few other ingredients, this ice cream is the perfect dessert to enjoy after your favorite Mexican meal.

The summer heat has been particularly strong this year and the high temps have altered my cravings. All I ever want nowadays is ice cream!  If you live in an area where it’s consistently 90 degrees or hotter in the summer, I know you totally get me. Trust me, these ice cream cravings are no joke.

Since I cook Mexican food so often for the blog, I always tend to have avocados around – they’re great as a garnish and look beautiful in photos! But because I always buy more than I need so I can make sure to get that “perfect avocado,” I tend to have a lot left over. I hate throwing out food so I’m always trying to think of ways to use up all the extra avocados.

My go-tos are usually guacamole, avocado salad or an easy avocado toast, but when I was trying to come up with a way to use them in a dessert, an ice cream came to mind! And boy is it freaking delicious.

How to make avocado ice cream

This avocado ice cream recipe is smooth, rich and creamy. The avocados give it a beautiful light green color and the butteriness of the fruit balances out the sweetness of the sweetened condensed milk. It’s the perfect blend of sweet and savory and it satisfies my dessert cravings almost instantly.

The best part about this recipe is that you don’t need an ice cream maker to make it! All you need is a mixer, a bowl and a loaf pan to freeze the ice cream in.

How to make avocado ice cream

  1. Add avocados, sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice and sea salt into a blender. Blend until completely smooth. Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer (or you can use a hand mixer), add heavy cream. Mix on medium-high speed until firm peaks form.
  3. Gently fold together the whipped cream with the avocado mixture until completely combined.
  4. Pour into a standard loaf pan, cover with aluminum foil and freeze until completely firm, about 6 hours or overnight.

I love sugar cones so I scooped some avocado ice cream on top and ate it like that. If you’re more of a bowl or a la mode person, this ice cream would pair really well with some vanilla wafers, gingersnap cookies, and even graham crackers.

Lord, I’m making myself hungry all over again!

    can you use honey instead of condensed milk

      Hi Angelita,

      I’ve never used honey, so I’m not sure it will work. My instinct says that it won’t work just because the condensed milk really helps to make it creamy. If you do try to use honey though, let me know how it turns out!

      You can use coconut milk and maple syrup instead of the condensed milk and heavy cream 🙂 but this is a great recipe as is 🙂
