    Why this Recipe Works

    No-churn ice cream is the perfect summer solution for those of us who don't have ice cream makers! Avocado is such a creamy fruit that makes for a rich, smooth, creamy ice cream. It's light and sweet, and so easy to make. Your freezer does most of the work!

    Ingredients and Notes

    Ingredients needed to make avocado ice cream.

    Whipping Cream - Whipping cream starts out as a liquid, and when beaten it eventually becomes whipped cream. This is because when you're beating it, you are whipping air into it which makes it light and fluffy and airy. This, in turn, will make your ice cream light and fluffy and airy!

    Sweetened Condensed Milk - Sweetened Condensed Milk is used to sweeten the ice cream. You don't want to use sugar because it will likely not fully dissolve and will leave your ice cream with a grainy texture and we don't want that!

    Avocados - Avocados are, of course, what gives this ice cream its color and flavor. But it also contributes some extra creaminess to the texture.

    How to Make this Recipe

    Mashed avocado added to a clear glass mixing bowl of sweetened condensed milk.

    Step 1: Whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and mashed avocado together until smooth.

    Recipe FAQs

    Why does no-churn ice cream work?

    The whipping cream gives no-churn ice cream that light and airy texture that churning gives it.

    What does avocado ice cream taste like?

    It tastes like sweet, creamy avocado. It really tastes just like a dessert avocado!

    Tips & Tricks

    Tip #1: Put your loaf pan in the freezer before starting on this recipe. That way, once the ice cream mixture is made, it's being poured into an already cold pan. A metal pan is ideal, but ensure whatever pan you use is freezer-safe.

    Tip #2: To determine whether your whipped cream is ready, dip your whisk into the mixture, and then pull it straight up. If the mixture stands straight up without the top of the peak drooping, it's ready!

    Tip #3: When folding the avocado mixture into the whipped cream, some air will be released, but you want to try to keep as much air as you can in there so fold gently!

    Storage Tips

    3 Ingredient Avocado Ice Cream should be store well covered in the freezer.

    Hi, I'm Liz!

    I started creating my own recipes when I realized that baking blogs usually shared complicated and time-consuming recipes that needed a lot of kitchen equipment and a lot of ingredients. When my grandma mentioned that I should write a cookbook, that inspired me to turn my super simple recipes into a blog. As much as I love to make these super simple recipes for my friends and family, I also love being able to share them with you!
