12 ounces avocado meat, approximately 3 small to medium
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup sugar

Tips:

  • Choose ripe avocados: Use ripe, but not overripe avocados. Overripe avocados will have a stringy texture and a bland flavor.
  • Use a high-powered blender: A high-powered blender will help create a smooth and creamy gelato. If you don't have a high-powered blender, you can use a regular blender, but you may need to blend the mixture for longer.
  • Chill the mixture before churning: Chilling the mixture before churning will help it set up more quickly and give it a creamier texture.
  • Churn the mixture according to your ice cream maker's instructions: Different ice cream makers have different churning times. Follow the instructions for your particular model.
  • Transfer the gelato to a freezer-safe container: Once the gelato is churned, transfer it to a freezer-safe container and freeze it for at least 4 hours before serving.

Conclusion:

Avocado gelato is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up ripe avocados and is a healthy alternative to traditional ice cream. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make delicious avocado gelato at home.
