As soon as I saw Rick Bayless’s avocado ice cream on Top Chef Masters in 2009 I knew one day I would make it. When I received a box of lovely ripe avocados from the California Avocado Commission this recipe instantly popped back into my head.
I decided to cut the recipe in half and initially used two avocados but when I tried the final product it was more of a icy sorbet and the tequila was a bit over-powering. Not what I was going for so Mike suggested that I add another blended avocado to the mix. I did and the result was perfect…creamy, sweet avocado with a hint of tequila. This ice cream would be great as a “palate cleanser” during a multi course meal.

Note: I received these avocados courtesy of the California Avocado Commission as part of the Foodbuzz tastemaker program.

This looks really awesome. I love ice creams much. Keep it up. Happy blogging.
Nom Nom Nom… My wife is going to go crazy over this recipe. Avacado and Ice Cream are her two favorite things to eat. Putting them together? Watch out!
I make a mean avocado pie, so why not ice cream? I’ll have to give this a try.
