Ingredients
- 1¼ cups heavy cream
- 1 cup half-n-half (or use whole milk)
- ¾ cup + ¼ cup granulated sugar (while pureeing the strawberries)
- ¾ tsp vanilla
- 1 cup strawberry puree [from fresh strawberries]
- 1 cup avocado puree [from fresh avocados]
- pinch of salt
- light pink food color [optional]
Method
Make the strawberry & avocado puree
- Wash the strawberries and chop off the stalks. Put them in a blender with 1/4 cup sugar and mix till it all looks smooth. Pour the puree through a strainer to remove any lumps. Set aside.
- Peel the avocados and chop them in small pieces. Put them in blender and mix till it forms a smooth mixture. You can put 2-3 tbsp of milk here if the mixture looks too thick to blend uniformly. Strain the puree to get rid of any lumps. Set aside.
Prepare the ice cream base
- In a bow, mix together the half n half [you can also use whole milk here], vanilla, salt and granulated sugar till sugar is dissolved. Add the cream and mix and finally add the strawberry and avocado puree and mix everything well.
- Chill the ice cream mixture for up to 12 hours. I kept this in the fridge for 4-5 hours.
- Prepare the ice cream according to your ice cream machine manufacturer's instruction.
