Easy Creamy Vegan Mint Chocolate Chip Ice cream made with…wait for it…avocados! This vegan ice cream is perfect for those people who don’t like bananas. Many vegan ice creams are done by using bananas or nuts.
This ice cream hasn’t got either of these.
Essentially, the blender (or food processor) does all the work for you. All you need to do is just add your ingredients to it, blend, freeze, and voila.
When summer comes, or just a hot day is around the corner, we all want some ice cream, or something cold.
Nowadays, there are plenty of vegan ice cream alternatives. But man, they are so expensive! Not to mention, not so healthy for you. So, I said to myself, you know what, I am gonna start making my own. The day I started making my own vegan ice cream, I never bought ice cream ever again…well maybe once.
Avocados as we all know, are very creamy, so they make perfect ice cream. I sweetened the ice cream with some quality maple syrup and added some peppermint extract for the mint profile.
Always make sure you let the ice cream soften a little bit when you take it out of the freezer before scooping. This will make it easier to scoop, and you won’t end up eating ice. Furthermore, extremely cold food can make you cough!
