Instructions

Place your blender and loaf pan in the freezer for at least 30 minutes before starting this recipe.
Place avocados, heavy cream, sugar and lime juice in a high-powered blender and blend for about 30 seconds until smooth.
Immediately transfer ice cream to the cold loaf pan and smooth out so it is an even layer.
Place food-safe plastic wrap over the ice cream (touching the top of the ice cream) and freeze for at least 6 hours before serving.
If frozen overnight, it may be hard to scoop. Let sit at room temperature for about 10 to 15 minutes before scooping.
Leftovers can be stored in a sealed food safe container in the freezer for about a month.

Notes

Always check your ingredients to ensure they are gluten-free, and don’t forget to read the labels for cross-contamination warnings.
For the best results, chill your blender before mixing. A cold blender helps the heavy cream whip up light, fluffy, and perfectly creamy.
Choose avocados that are slightly soft when gently squeezed but not mushy. If they’re too firm, they need more time to ripen.
Fresh lime juice is a must! It enhances the flavor and helps prevent the avocados from browning—bottled lime juice just doesn’t compare.
Press a layer of food-safe plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the ice cream before freezing. This prevents ice crystals from forming, keeping your ice cream smooth and creamy.
