Using Avocado Powder To Make Healthy Ice Cream

Blog

Ice cream is known for being smooth, creamy, and delicious. However, it is not typically known for being very healthy. There is one ingredient that can change all of that: avocado powder. Avocados are naturally creamy, and they can lend this texture to ice cream. Since they're a great source of healthy fats and antioxidants, though, they can help make ice cream healthier. So, how do you make ice cream with avocado powder? Follow this recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup avocado powder
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of honey
  • 1 vanilla bean
  • a pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Combine the avocado powder and coconut milk. Let this mixture sit and rest for about 30 minutes. This should give the avocado powder time to hydrate and absorb the coconut milk. You should come back to a mixture that is creamy and uniform.

Place your avocado mixture in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the lemon juice, sour cream, the inner contents of the vanilla bean, salt, and honey. Once this mixture is well combined, set it aside.

On the stovetop, combine the heavy cream and sugar. Heat gently until the sugar melts. Do not allow the mixture to boil! 

Slowly stir the cream and sugar mixture into the avocado mixture. Once the two are combined, beat on high speed for 5 minutes. This should make the mixture light and fluffy. If the mixture does not seem to be lightening, you can add additional heavy cream, one tablespoon at a time. Keep beating until your last addition is fully incorporated.

Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container with a lid. Make sure you smooth it out evenly on the top. Place the container in the freezer, and let your mixture freeze for at least 4 hours. After that, check it to see whether it is firm. If it's still soft enough to stick a finger into, then you need to freeze it a bit longer. Finally, when your avocado ice cream is firm, scoop some into a bowl, and enjoy it.

As a healthier alternative to ice cream, it sure is delicious and easy to make. It's not that hard to use avocado powder to make delicious, homemade ice cream. Follow the recipe above, and then experiment with adding your own mix-ins. For more ideas, contact an avocado powder supplier near you.

Finding The Right Food Supplier

When I bought my first restaurant, I had no idea how challenging it would be. I assumed that I would be able to throw open the doors and offer whatever I wanted to serve that day, but that didn't turn out to be the case. Customers had opinions that they weren't afraid to voice, and it was kind of hard to juggle my responsibilities. I realized that my first order of business needed to be finding a food supplier that could handle my needs, so I started doing my research. It was amazing to find a business that really had a feel for the food industry. My blog might teach you some tips for managing your first business, especially if you own a restaurant.
