Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1.04 pounds frozen chopped avocado or 472 gram
  • ¼ cup almond butter or creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoon chocolate protein powder
  • ¾ cup erythritol or more if you have a sweet tooth. You may replace with another type of powdered sugar substitute such as monk fruit or even confectioner's sugar.
  • teaspoon salt OPTIONAL
  • teaspoon instant coffee OPTIONAL

Instructions

  • Blend all ingredients in a blender or food processor until completely smooth (soft serve consistency).
  • Either serve our high protein ice cream right after making as soft serve, or freeze up to an hour in a freezer-safe container and then scoop out with an ice cream scoop.
  • If freezing the ice cream, use a 24 to 48-hour frozen container to speed up the freezing process and cover with plastic wrap. Make sure the wrap touches the top surface of the ice cream.
  • NOTE: If you’re not using a food processor, thaw the frozen avocados a little before blending in the blender so your blender will be able to handle.

Recipe Notes

How to Store Leftovers
Freeze protein ice cream leftovers in a freezer-safe container tightly covered and store for up to one month in the freezer.
To prevent freezer burn, make sure to place a wrap on the top surface of the ice cream and press it down. Then wrap more or place a lid on top.
