FAUX AVOCADO MINT ICE CREAM CREATED BY: KRISTINA BUDDHO Servings: 10 | Time: 20 mins (for soft serve) - 1 hr. 20 mins. | Difficulty: easy 1 large avocado or 2 medium sized 2 super ripe bananas, frozen 1/2 cup coconut milk 1-2 tablespoons organic honey 4 drops of peppermint oil or 1 teaspoon peppermint extract 1 pinch saltdark or vegan chocolate, shaved or grated INGREDIENTS Issue 2: October 2018 01 Slice the bananas and freeze them from the day before in a ziplock bag. 02 Cube avocado in medium sized pieces and store in an airtight container or zip lock bag and freeze for 1-2 hours, until firm. 03 Add the bananas and coconut milk to a high powered blender, blend on high until smooth. 04 Add the frozen cubed avocado. If you don’t have a high powered blender, note that you will have to add the frozen avocado 1 -2 cubes at a time and blend until incorporated (it does not have to be completely smooth). 05 Add the honey, peppermint oil and salt. Blend on high just until everything is smooth. 06 Transfer to a deep dish (this is where you would fold in the shaved chocolate, if that’s your thing). Cover with plastic wrap and ensure that it is touching the surface of the ice cream to prevent any sort of skin from forming. 07 Freeze for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Serve with shaved chocolate on top or any preferred topping and garnish with mint. Enjoy! 13 15
