Avocados: Beyond the Toast!

May 8, 2021 By Namita Nayyar (Editor in chief)

By  Charlene Bazarian

Avocados are having their time in the spotlight!  It is no wonder, as this super fruit is a nutritional powerhouse packed with vitamins and is also an excellent source of heart-healthy monounsaturated fatty acids.   They boast more potassium than bananas, are full of antioxidants, and are loaded with fiber. 

While the benefits seem endless, if it is time for you to expand your avocado recipe repertoire beyond guacamole and avocado toast, here are three recipes that are sure to delight your taste buds!

1. FIRST COURSE!

Ingredients

  • 1 13.5 ounce can coconut milk
  • 2 medium avocados
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ cup coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar

Instructions

  • Pour the canned coconut milk in the blender.
  • Measure out cocoa powder, vanilla extract, coconut milk and sugar and add it to the blender.
  • Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Then, take a spoon and carefully scoop out the flesh from the peel. Place in the blender.
  • Blend the ingredients until they are pureed. Transfer to a covered container and place in the freezer.
  • To avoid an icy texture, stir the ice cream every 20 minutes until the ice cream begins to harden. Then, place a small piece of plastic wrap over top of the ice cream. Cover and store in the freezer until completely frozen. If the ice cream becomes icy, thaw it out for about 10 minutes before serving.
