This No Churn Avocado Pistachio Ice Cream is super creamy and crazy easy to make!
You’re probably thinking… avocado??… in ice cream??
YES!!
It’s completely possible to have avocados in sweets! I snuck avocado in this Double Chocolate Avocado Zucchini Bread, as well as served it up with a frozen Mango Lassi!
Since June is California Avocado Month, why not go all in and transform those gorgeous California Avocados into a creamy, out of this world, Pistachio Ice Cream!?
You know I’m a big fan of easy ice cream, so when the idea for avocado and pistachio ice cream came to mind, I had to make it a no churn recipe.
The best thing about adding avocado to a no churn recipe? It makes it even creamier!
I added a large California Avocado, a little lemon juice, sweetened condensed milk and a package of pistachio pudding mix to a blender and gave it a whirl.
This gorgeous green concoction was ready for a dip into some whipped cream before being placed in the freezer.
I’m not going to pretend that adding the avocado somehow made this ice cream less indulgent… because let’s face it, ice cream is very indulgent.
But I did feel a little better knowing that it had some good avocado fats going into it. 🙂
I also tossed in a handful of salted pistachios before pouring the mixture into the freezer.
Definitely go for the salted pistachios. It added a nice salty sweet flavor to the ice cream. I’m in heaven!
Of course the natural thing to do when you sneak avocado into ice cream is a blind taste test with your kids.
They were at the library with their dad when I was making it, so they had NO IDEA that there was any avocado in there.
The moment of truth… Success! They all LOVED it and nobody even knew that there was avocado in it. The avocado lends it’s green color and creaminess to this pistachio ice cream, while taking on the flavor of pistachio.
You’re going to love this super simple ice cream!
