Why this Recipe Works

Ingredients and Notes
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
Step 1: Whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and mashed avocado together until smooth.
Step 2: In a separate bowl, beat the cream until it forms stiff peaks.
Step 3: Fold the avocado mixture into the whipped cream.
Step 4: Pour into a metal loaf pan and freeze at least 4-5 hours. Once frozen, scoop and enjoy!

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
