Avocado Peppermint Ice Cream

If this makes it to the ice cream maker you are lucky. It is great straight out of the blender as a peppermint mousse.


  • 5 medium avocados, peeled and pitted
  • 1⁄2 cup coconut water
  • 1⁄2 cup agave, coconut nectar, or honey*
  • 2 tablespoons coconut butter
  • 1 tablespoon peppermint extract
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1⁄2 cup cacao nibs (optional)

  • Blend all ingredients until smooth. Stir in cacao nibs, if desired. Process through an ice

    cream maker according to manufacturer’s directions. *If you want to omit the sweetener, you can substitute 1⁄2 cup coconut water and add a few drops of stevia, to taste. This will make the texture icy, but it will still taste good.


  • Serves 4-6
