Ahh, I could do 20 posts on my love of avocados. So, why have I only recently have made them a true staple in my kitchen? In the past, I’d wait for a guacamole craving or a specific recipe using them as ingredient. But now, they’ve earned “banana” status in my fruit bowl – meaning, I have always have a few on hand, ripening and ready for use.
A few years back, I had the good fortune review this lovely book My Sweet Mexico by Fany Gerson. Her avocado ice cream recipe is simple and yet so divine. And avocado is a fruit after all, making it a no brainer for summertime desserts. I finally bought some popsicle molds (after reading Serena’s post) and my adaptation of the avocado ice cream was the first thing I tried.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
- 1 cup low fat milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (from one large lime)
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Directions
- Put all ingredients in the blender and blend until smooth.
- Pour into popsicle molds and freeze.
Are you a fellow avocado lover? Do you ever serve them in sweet dishes?
Oh my! I love this. I am going to give them a try with organic soy or almond milk.
Yum. Thanks!

What an interesting use of avocados! I use avocados all the time – in salads, on top of burgers, on fish tacos…so many good ways to enjoy them!
Oooh, they are so so good sweet – thanks for sharing that article in the Sun Times today!
Such gorgeous green popsicles! I think this would be a fun summer project to do with my kids. I think my daughter’s first food must have been avocado. Delicious!
Great summer project – think of doing weekly popsicle theme with my 5 year old
These look delicious and perfect for kids! I love the idea of avocado popsicles, I bet they are nice and creamy, kind of like a fudgesicle?
Yes! Avocado Creamsicle would have been a better title for the recipe
I’ve never met anyone who loves avocados as much as I do! It can be used in salty or sweet recipes; thanks for posting this I’ll definitely try it out!
You are welcome – always great to meet a fellow avocado lover!
