If you’re craving a creamy homemade dessert without complicated ingredients, this Blueberry Avocado Ice Cream is a must-try. The avocado gives the ice cream an incredibly smooth texture, while frozen blueberries add a sweet, fruity flavor and beautiful purple color.
Best of all, you only need 5 simple ingredients and a blender!
Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado, peeled and chopped
- 1 ½ cups frozen blueberries
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
How to Make Blueberry Avocado Ice Cream
1. Add the fruit
Place the chopped ripe avocado and frozen blueberries into a blender.
2. Add the creamy ingredients
Add Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract.
3. Blend until smooth
Blend everything until completely smooth, thick, and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed.
If the mixture is too thick for your blender, add 1–2 tablespoons of milk to help it blend.
4. Transfer to a container
Pour the creamy purple mixture into a freezer-safe container and smooth the top with a spoon or spatula.
5. Freeze
Cover and freeze for about 3–4 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
6. Scoop and serve
Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5–10 minutes before scooping. Serve in a bowl or a chocolate waffle cone.
Tips for Extra Creamy Ice Cream
Use a fully ripe avocado for the smoothest texture and mildest flavor. Frozen blueberries work best because they make the mixture thick and cold immediately.
For an even creamier dessert, use full-fat Greek yogurt. You can also add a small splash of coconut milk while blending.
Optional Toppings
Try serving it with fresh blueberries, chopped dark chocolate, shredded coconut, crushed nuts, granola, or a drizzle of honey.
Storage
Keep the ice cream covered in an airtight freezer-safe container. For the best texture and flavor, enjoy it within 1–2 weeks.
