Brazilian Avocado Ice Cream Recipes

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:

• 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.

Steps:

• Peel and roughly chop the avocados. In a blender, combine the avocado, orange juice, and egg yolks, and blend to a fine puree.
• In a medium size bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff and whisk in the sugar, 1 teaspoon at a time.
• In a separate bowl whip the heavy cream until it forms peaks. Gently fold in the egg white mixture and the avocado puree into the whipped cream. Pour the mixture into a freezer tray, cover, and freeze for several hours.
• To serve, scoop out into a dish and garnish with whipped cream or fruit.

Steps:

• Peel, pit and roughly chop the avocado.
• An easy way to remove the pit: after halving the avocado, with a flick of the wrist, plunge a knife into the pit, then give a slight twist and remove.
• Voila!
• Place avocado flesh into a blender with the lemon or lime juice, and puree until smooth.
• Transfer mixture to a bowl, and with an electric mixer, gradually blend in the sugar-- slowly, slowly does it.
• Then add cream and salt (just a little salt at a time, tasting as you go, to avoid over-salting), and blend further until well mixed.
• Distribute mixture between 6 stemmed glasses and chill at least 4 hours in the fridge.
• (Freeze it if you wish, but it is nicer just chilled).
