Avocado Ice cream

This avocado ice cream is so creamy, made with only six ingredients and doesn’t require an ice cream maker! It’s also vegan and gluten-free.

Recipe from Food Blog “Eating Bird Food”

2 ripe avocados (You could try another non-dairy milk too)
½ cup almond milk
¼ cup maple syrup honey or other liquid sweetener
1 Tbsp coconut oil measured in a liquid state
¼ tsp peppermint extract
¼ cup chocolate chips (dairy-free, if needed)

Add all ingredients except for the chocolate chips into a high powered blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Stir in chocolate chips and pour into a freezer-safe container. I used a loaf pan lined with parchment.
Place container in the freezer to set. It should take about 4-5 hours.
Once frozen, pull ice cream from the freezer, let sit out on the counter for 5-10 minutes to soften. Use an ice cream scoop to serve and enjoy!
You can use an icecream maker if you prefer, so after blending the ice cream, pour it into the ice cream machine and follow the manufacturer’s instructions

Notes
Sweetener: Feel free to use your sweetener of choice here. Play around with using stevia instead of maple syrup/honey if you want to reduce the sugar content.
