Description
Delight in these creamy avocado mint chocolate ice cream bars that are both delicious and healthy!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- In a blender or food processor, combine the avocados, coconut milk, honey (or maple syrup), cocoa powder, vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or mint flavor if desired.
- Pour the avocado mixture into a 9×5-inch loaf pan or silicone mold, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the avocado mixture in the loaf pan, using a toothpick or knife to swirl it into the mixture for a marbled effect.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or until completely firm.
- Once frozen, remove the ice cream bars from the pan by running warm water over the outside of the pan for a few seconds. Cut into bars and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a richer chocolate flavor, add an extra tablespoon of cocoa powder to the avocado mixture.
- For a fun twist, try adding crushed nuts or shredded coconut into the mixture before freezing for added texture.
