    Prep Time: 15 minutes minutes
    Inactive Time: 4 hours hours
    Total Time: 4 hours hours 15 minutes minutes
    Servings: 8 servings
    Calories: 328kcal
    Author: Dr. Erin Carter

    Ingredients

    • 3 ripe avocados flesh only
    • 1 1/2 cups full fat coconut milk
    • 1/2 cup packed, fresh mint leaves or more depending on how minty you want it to be
    • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup use maple syrup for vegan
    • 1 tablespoon organic vanilla extract
    • 3/4 cup dairy and soy free chocolate chips plus a little more for garnish if you wish

    Instructions

    • Add all of the ingredients, except your chocolate chips to your Vitamix blender and blend well until smooth.
    • Stir in the chocolate chips.
    • Transfer the ingredients into a freezer proof bowl (I used a bread pan) and spread evenly with a spoon or knife.
    • Sprinkle a few more chocolate chips on top.
    • Place in the freezer for 3-4 hours (until frozen).
    • Remove from the freezer, and let sit until it softens to your desired texture (this will depend on how long you freeze it as well).
    • Serve and enjoy!

    Notes

    Like all homemade ice cream, check the texture as it freezes until it is at your desired texture. It will need to defrost some before serving, especially the longer it sits in the freezer.

        Hey! I’ve never tried the recipe with any other ingredients so I can’t be sure how it would turn out.
