About Avocado & Coconut Milk Ice Cream
Creamy avocados are popular as smoothies in Morocco. Mixed with coconut can make a delicious vegan ice cream. Reported by Ellie Hadsall of Albuquerque, NM.preparation
Step 1: Begin the night before by placing two bowls in the freezer - one for mixing the ingredients and one that will serve as your ice cream container. Place all ingredients in the fridge as well so ingredients will be as cold as possible. The ingredients should not be frozen, however.Step 2: Peel one avocado, remove seed and mix into a smooth consistency.
Step 3: Puree avocado mixture, coconut milk and raw sugar or honey with a blender, forming an emulsion. Optionally add soy milk powder as well.
Step 4: Finally pour the blended avocado ice cream into the frozen bowl and leave in the freezer until the ingredients begin to solidify into ice cream.
For best results, stir the ice cream every 15 minutes to break up ice crystals (therefore creaming the ice). Once solidified, scoop and serve yourself this homemade delight.

How can ice cream be a traditional ayurvedic food let alone healthy ? In the old days the only time you could eat ice was during winter and with no central heating who would wanted it ? Dalia
That's a great question. It's not the ingredients that make food Ayurvedic but how you use them. If a person has a deficiency disorder, ice cream can help build ojas. If their digestion is too hot, ice cream can cool it...

Dalia, Before people were able to make ice, they harvested it in the wild. Not only in the winter but also on a snow capped mountain. Well, because of the work involved in getting ice back then, it was considered a real treat, often given to high standing people. I must say that I believe that ice cream increases Vata, without a doubt.

This is an amazing recipe!! I, a pitta Dosha, and my husband, a vata Dosha, both love this stuff. Thank you so much for posting this recipe.
Do you only use the cream part of the coconut milk, granted you're using canned? Or would a regular homemade coconut milk work?
this is an excellent earthbased recepie. just add a little spice for vata. yay

A homemade version would work as well.
