Description
This creamy, dreamy Ninja Creami Avocado Ice Cream is a game-changer! Made with just a few simple ingredients, it’s naturally rich, subtly sweet, and incredibly smooth thanks to ripe avocados. Perfect for a refreshing, healthy-ish treat any time of year!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe avocados – Provide the luscious, creamy base for this rich ice cream. Make sure they’re soft but not overripe.
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk – Adds sweetness and richness; you can adjust for desired sweetness.
- 2 cups half and half – Offers a velvety, luxurious texture. Whole milk can be substituted, though it may be less creamy.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – Enhances the overall flavor with warm, sweet undertones.
Optional Add-Ons
- Chopped nuts – Almonds or walnuts for a crunchy contrast.
- Fresh fruit – Berries or banana slices for a tart, refreshing balance.
- Chocolate chips – For a classic sweet and creamy combo.
Substitutions and Shortcuts
- Dairy-free option: Use coconut cream or almond milk instead of half and half.
- Lower-sugar option: Try Greek yogurt in place of condensed milk for a tangy twist.
Instructions
- Blend Your Ingredients: In a high-speed blender, combine the avocados, half and half, condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Blend until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Transfer to Ninja Creami Container: Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container. Do not exceed the max fill line.
- Freeze: Freeze the container for 18–24 hours, ensuring it’s fully solid before processing.
- Process in Ninja Creami: After freezing, remove from freezer, attach the pint lid, and place it into the Ninja Creami. Select the “Lite Ice Cream” mode and process.
- Serve: Scoop the creamy avocado ice cream into bowls and top with desired add-ons like fruit, chocolate chips, or nuts. Enjoy immediately!
Notes
- Ripeness matters: Use fully ripe avocados for the best texture and flavor.
- Make it zesty: A dash of lime zest can add brightness to the ice cream.
- Re-spin if needed: If the texture is crumbly, use the “Re-Spin” setting for extra smoothness.
