You heard it right! Avocado and coconut milk make for a vegan ice cream alternative that’s just as indulgent as the original.

This recipe serves 10, so there’ll be some left over whenever you fancy a treat.

We’ve used cocoa powder for a dairy-free chocolate ice cream, but you can keep yours vanilla or add any combination of weird and wonderful flavours.

Just make sure your avocado’s ripe – it’ll scoop beautifully that way.

Ingredients

  • 2 just-ripe avocados

  • 400g can full-fat coconut milk *

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract *

  • 60g dairy-free cocoa powder * sifted

  • 250ml almond * or soya milk *

  • 150ml light agave nectar *

  • Dairy-free, sugar-free chocolate chips * if liked

  • * Available at Holland & Barrett

Method

1

Cut the avocados in half and discard the stones. Put the avocado flesh, coconut milk and vanilla extract in a large food processor and whizz until smooth.

2

Blend the cocoa powder with a splash of almond or soya milk to form a paste. Add this to the processor, along with a splash more milk and blend again. Add in the remaining milk and agave and blend until smooth and mixed well. Check for sweetness – it should taste a little too sweet, because the flavour will be dulled on freezing. Add more agave if you like.

3

Scrape the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn for 25-30 minutes until a soft set. Scrape into a freezer-proof container and stir through the chocolate chips if using. Freeze until needed. Allow to soften for 10 minutes before serving.

4

If you don’t have an ice cream maker, tip the mixture into a freezer-proof container and freeze for 2 hours, then beat with a fork to break up any ice crystals. Return to the freezer and repeat the process every 1½ hours until a soft set, then stir through the chocolate chips (if using) and leave until firm.
