Hey guys! So I saw this video on Instagram that made these cute avocado gelato and it seemed too good to pass up. I did some research and also found the recipe, which I will link to. But let me tell you, it was a challenge. But hey at least now I'll have avocado gelato on hand as a healthy treat for a few weeks. Thanks for watching the video, hope you give it a try and put your own spin on it (I would probably sweeten it a bit more next time).
Ingredients:
2 3 oz. Chocolate Bar (melted)
6 ripe Avocados
1 13.5 oz can Coconut Cream
2 T Honey (add more if you want your gelato sweeter)
1 T Lime Juice

spatula
Instructions:
Scoop out the middles of six avocdos and wipe the inside of the shells clean.
Melt your chocolate on top of a double boiler on low heat. Pour melted chocolate into the hollowed-out shells and using a spoon make sure every bit is covered. Once the shell is coated set them aside to cool and set.
In a blender, blend the six avocados, coconut cream, honey, and lime. Blend it all together until you’ve got your avocado gelato.
Began to fill each chocolate shell with the avocado gelato. Use an offset spatula to smooth out the gelato. Be sure to save some of this for later! Freeze them for an hour. Take a tablespoon (or a teaspoon if your avocados are on the smaller side) and scoop out a hole for the pit.
Place the filled shells in the freezer to let the gelato and chocolate shell fully set.
Combine the avocado gelato with the leftover melted chocolate. Scoop with tablespoons or teaspoons (whichever size you used to scoop out the gelato). You’ll need two scoops per avocado that you’re making. Add place each half scoop in a parchment paper and let it freeze up (it took mine about an hour). Combine the two halves by gently rubbing the sides to form a sphere. Place a sphere into each avocado half.
Once you know your chocolate and gelato has fully set, use a spoon to scoop out the chocolate shell from the avocado peel and enjoy!
