Ingredients

3 ripe Hass avocados (about 1.5 pounds total)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup 2% or full-fat plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate (60% cacao or higher), chopped

Instructions

Prepare the Avocados: Slice the avocados in half, carefully remove the pits, and scoop the rich, creamy flesh into your food processor.
Blend the Base: Add the granulated sugar, Greek yogurt, heavy cream, fresh lime juice, and kosher salt to the food processor with the avocado.
Achieve Smoothness: Blend all the ingredients until the mixture is completely smooth and the sugar is fully dissolved, which usually takes about 2 minutes. For the best texture, chill this mixture in the refrigerator for at least one hour before moving to the next step.
Churn to Perfection: Pour the thoroughly chilled avocado mixture into your ice cream maker. Churn according to your ice cream maker's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency, typically around 20-25 minutes.
Fold in Chocolate: About 10 minutes before the churning is finished, add the chopped bittersweet chocolate directly into the ice cream maker. Allow it to mix in thoroughly until the chocolate chunks are evenly distributed throughout the ice cream.
Serve or Freeze: Enjoy your wonderfully creamy avocado ice cream immediately for a delightful soft-serve experience. For a firmer scoopable ice cream, transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours. If it becomes very hard, simply let it soften on the counter for 15-20 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a firmer scoopable ice cream, transfer to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours. If it becomes very hard, simply let it soften on the counter for 15-20 minutes before serving. This recipe is a delightful #SummerDessert and a #HealthyIceCream option.
