I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out wonderful. It was very simple to make. The ice cream was delicious and I'm not even an avocado lover. It also had a lovely color. Avocados are very beneficial to health, so I didn't feel so guilty eating it!

I could live on this ice cream it is sooo good!!!! It is not that sweet so you could make a raspberry sauce to put on top. This would be festive for the holidays and I think it would pair well with the ice cream because it pairs well with avocado cheesecake (which I am also in love with. I am from California so I know avocados. You MUST use ones that are at their peak which means soft but should not be brown on the edges or stringy. Usually Costco sells good avocados. I used three medium large avocados. Other than the size of avocados I followed all the ingredients in the recipe. I put the blender in the freezer for about 15 minutes after making the mixture (to cool it then I poured the mixture in the ice cream maker. It took approx 25 minutes to freeze. Then I put it in a Tupperware and into the freezer for about two hours. At this point it was soft serve consistency and perfect.

I remember having avocado popsicles in my childhood in Chihuahua (Sta. Isabel Mexico... this recipe brought back those memories.
After churning the ice cream for 10 minutes I poured it into popsicle molds and the hard consistency (that some of us complained for scooping was perfect and delicious.

This was the easiest ice cream ever. I used our local avocados from Guam, they have a less avocadoish taste and more buttery flavor. I did not let it sit in the fridge for the 4+ hours recommended but instead placed it directly into my ice cream maker for 30 minutes. It is delicious, creamy and a lovely pale yellow. I highly recommend this! High five Alton!

I used this as a pudding and substituted date paste for the sugar and increased the lemon juice. Was wonderful for a low glycemic dessert with the benefit of the nutrition of the avocado! I had tried raw avocado puddings before but didn't care for them..but this was just sweet enough to be a treat.

I never thought of making ice cream with avocados, but when I had a surpluss of them, I decided I was open to the thought. I am so glad I did. This ice cream is great. It tastes like what a banana smells, which is not bad. It is very unique. I used slightly more sugar than the recipe which is not necessary and I used lime juice instead of lemon. It was great! Will definately make again!!

So good! I tried this recipe during Avocado season when I had too many of them and it was delicious. It was rich and creamy and ever so tasty!

I LOVE avocados, and was really excited when I saw the episode for this. I also have made Alton's vanilla ice cream with incredible success.
This recipe was a huge disappointment for two reasons:
1. It came out rock hard. After watching the ice cream episode, I wondered why the sugar level was so low in this recipe. However, I chose not to question it and went ahead with the 1/2 cup. REALLY bad idea; the ice cream is un-scoopable and needs to be mushed before eaten.
2. Whilst still on the sugar topic....I found this to be very under-sweetened. Yes, too much sugar would overpower the delicate avocado flavor. However, the ice cream ended just tasting like really cold avocados. Not quite the tasty dessert I was hoping for.
If I were to make an avocado ice cream again, it will not be this recipe unless modified in some way.

I made this but added 1/4 cup cocoa powder and 2 tbsp honey. I also used another reviewer's tip of So Delicious Coconut Milk and Creamer since we can't have dairy. I let it chill overnight as I read somewhere that the avocado flavour dissipates over time. I don't think it made much of a difference in the taste, which ws amazing. Hands down the best tasting and creamiest non-dairy ice cream I've had. My 6 yr old loved it and asked for a 2nd bowl.

I will definitely be using this recipe again and experimenting with flavors!
