Avocado Ice Cream And Gazpacho Recipes

CUCUMBER-AVOCADO GAZPACHO

Steps:

• Halve and pit 1 of the avocados and scoop the flesh into a blender. Add the quartered cucumbers, the basil, half of the mint, the 1/4 cup almonds, shallot, oil, lemon juice, vinegar, honey and water. Blend until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve or serve immediately (see Cook's Note).
• When ready to serve, halve, pit and peel the remaining avocado and thinly slice the flesh. Divide the soup among 4 bowls. Garnish with the cucumber rounds, sliced avocado, the remaining 2 tablespoons mint and remaining 2 tablespoons almonds.

AVOCADO ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Peel and pit the avocados. Add the avocados, lemon juice, milk, and sugar to a blender and puree. Transfer the mixture to a medium mixing bowl, add the heavy cream and whisk to combine. Place the mixture into the refrigerator and chill until it reaches 40 degrees F or below, approximately 4 to 6 hours.
• Process the mixture in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's directions. However, this mixture sets up very fast, so count on it taking only 5 to 10 minutes to process. For soft ice cream, serve immediately. If desired, place in freezer for 3 to 4 hours for firmer texture.

AVOCADO ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Chill the loaf pan in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
• Puree the avocado, milk, lemon juice and salt in a blender until smooth, about 1 minute; transfer to a large bowl.
• Whip the cream in another large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until firm peaks form, about 2 minutes. With a rubber spatula, fold about 1 cup of the whipped cream into the avocado puree until combined. Fold the lightened mixture back into the whipped cream until well blended. Pour into the chilled loaf pan, and place in the freezer until firm, 4 hours or overnight.

AVOCADO ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Pour the water into a saucepan, and bring to a boil; stir in sugar until dissolved. Bring the syrup back to a boil, reduce heat, and boil gently until the syrup is reduced to 1 cup, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and allow to cool.
• In a mixing bowl, mash the avocados to your desired consistency, either smooth or chunky. Mix in the evaporated milk, 1% milk, and lime juice. Stir in the cooled sugar syrup until completely incorporated. Chill the mixture completely in the refrigerator, about 4 hours.
• Pour the chilled mix into an ice cream maker, and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions; pack the ice cream into a lidded container, and freeze until firm, at least 1 hour.

AVOCADO GAZPACHO

Steps:

• Combine the avocado, tomatoes, garlic, onion, olive oil, vinegar, paprika and salt in a blender, and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings. Pour into a bowl or pitcher, thin out as desired with ice water, cover and chill for several hours.
• Meanwhile, prepare the garnishes, if using. Place them in small bowls on a platter. Serve it in bowls, and pass the tray of garnishes.

AVOCADO AND HEIRLOOM TOMATO GAZPACHO

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the bell peppers, cucumber, shallot, garlic, tomatoes, parsley, lime juice, hot sauce, vinegar, oil, and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Measure 1/2 cup of this mixture and set aside.
• In a blender, pulse the remaining veggies with the avocado until the mixture is creamy and smooth. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. For a more acidic soup, add another dash of vinegar.
• Refrigerate for several hours before serving. Top each portion of soup with a spoonful of the reserved chopped veggies and a dollop of Greek yogurt.
