AVOCADO ICE CREAM (VEGAN)
This is the best ice cream I have ever had. It is so delicious and easy to make. Best of all, there are no animal products involved! The vitamin C tablet might seem strange but you really can't taste it at all and it keeps the avocados from turning brown.

Steps:
- Bring 1 3/4 cups soy milk, 1/2 cup sugar, zest, and a pinch of salt to a simmer in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat.

Transfer mixture to a metal bowl, then set bowl in a larger bowl of ice and cold water and cool completely, stirring frequently. Discard zest.
- Quarter, pit, and peel avocados, then purée with vitamin C and remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a food processor until smooth. Add soy milk mixture and blend well.
- Freeze avocado mixture in ice cream maker. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until hardened, about 1 hour.

Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: The riper the avocados, the creamier and more flavorful your ice cream will be.
- Use full-fat coconut milk: This will help give your ice cream a rich and creamy texture.
- Sweeten to taste: Start with a small amount of sweetener and add more to taste. You can use honey, maple syrup, or your favorite sugar-free sweetener.
- Add flavorings: Feel free to add your favorite flavorings to the ice cream, such as vanilla extract, cocoa powder, or chopped nuts.
- Chill the ice cream base before churning: This will help it churn more quickly and smoothly.
- Churn the ice cream according to your ice cream maker's instructions: Most ice cream makers will take about 20-30 minutes to churn the ice cream.
- Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving: This will allow the ice cream to firm up and develop its full flavor.
Conclusion:
Avocado ice cream is a delicious and healthy treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its creamy texture and rich flavor, avocado ice cream is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
