“Avocado is a fruit, and it gives this silky treat a wonderful colour and gorgeous texture, thanks to its fat content. Feel free to add nuts, chocolate or spices. ”
Ingredients
- 2 vanilla pods
- 200 g sugar
- 1 lemon
- 1 lime
- 4 ripe avocados
- 500 ml whole milk
Method
- Halve the vanilla pods lengthways, scrape out the seeds, then add to a saucepan with the pods. Add the sugar, and the zest and juice from your lemon and lime.
- Bring to the boil, then simmer for a couple of minutes until all the sugar dissolves.
- Take off the heat, pour into a bowl and leave to cool. Don’t put your finger in for a taste, though, as it could burn you.
- Once the syrup is cool, remove the vanilla pods.
- Peel, destone and scoop the avocado flesh into a liquidiser with the syrup and milk. Blitz to a smooth, light consistency – like a smoothie.
- If you’ve got an ice-cream maker, put your mixture into it and churn till smooth and frozen. If not, pour it into a large baking dish or deep tray and pop it in the freezer, giving it a whisk every half hour or so until frozen and smooth.
- You can eat it right away or transfer it to little containers, cover and pop in the freezer for later.
