4 Ingredients is all you need for this No-Churn Healthy Chocolate Avocado Ice Cream Recipe. The perfect summer dessert recipe made for whole foods and ready in 5 minutes or less.

One thing I don’t think anyone thinks about when it comes to blogging is how much perseverance you need to have! In fact, so much of this job requires more perseverance than you could imagine. It meant showing up here everyday when the only person reading was my Mom (who stopped in once a week…). It meant believing that I could turn my hobby into a business when the majority of people had only a vague sense of what blogging professionally really required. And it still means being persistent when it comes to creating recipes!

Part of being a recipe developer is expecting things to fail and having the courage to try again when they do. Take this chocolate avocado ice cream for example… I may or may not have cried over my third (failed) attempt at this ice cream. I wouldn’t have any recipes on the blog if I let every single mistake get me down! Thank goodness I’ve developed some resilience and will keep trying until each recipe is perfected!

But have no fear! It has been perfected! Let’s dive into it…

Avocado Ice Cream Ingredients

  • banana
  • avocado
  • raw cacao or cocoa powder
  • pure maple syrup
  • optional: mint extract, coconut flakes, chocolate chips, peanut butter etc…

Freezing Avocado

Wait a minute…YOU CAN FREEZE AVOCADO?! Yup! A little fact I learned when I travelled to the avocado capital of the world. The best way to freeze them is to remove the skin and pit and place the insides in tact in a ziploc bag. Remove and place straight in the food processor if making this avocado ice cream or remove a few hours before use to defrost and then cut or mash as preferred.

A great way to use up your avocado before they go bad!

  1. This was so good!!! Most of the time I add all the ingredients to my bullet blender along with some almond milk to make it like a shake. Was craving carbs all day so going to make one now. Thanks for the great recipe!






  2. Just found this when deciding to slice avocados over ice cream. I would like to try this in a Yonanas which I love for making frozen bananas taste like soft serve. I already froze a bunch of avocados about to go bad a while back and the internet told me to mash them with a little lemon juice. It’s really late, but tomorrow… Yonanas, here I come.

  3. Great recipe.

    But how much do you hate your sponsor? Prose so whingey and self involved, can’t bring myself to click to other recipes.

  4. Ohohoho, I have SERIOUS perseverance if you ask me. I’ve tried making vegan protein coconut flour pancakes once and it turned out SO badly but I’m still trying to this day. And it’s been two years!! But I bet this avocado ice cream is a total winner in taste and consistency! I LOVE all of the ingredients in it!

    1. You can’t give up yet! Keep at it lady. It’s all a game of persistence 😉

  5. Nate (the BF) eats 1-2 pints of ice cream a week, usually a pint in one setting. i’ve been wanting to try having some healthier options around…may have to give this a try!

  6. i’ve never thought about freezing avocados before but WHAT A GREAT IDEA. Oo especially if they’re on the verge of too-ripe-about-to-go-bad. You’re such a thinker. Love this recipe!

    1. It’s the ultimate avocado secret! You can totally freeze them, thaw them and make guac with them. They don’t brown either! So crazy!

  7. Avocados and chocolate and banana ice cream? Only three of my favorite things EVER!
