I think everyone has that one food that always wins. For me its avocado. It gets me every single time. When I'm looking at a menu, anything with avocado just pops out at me and I have to order it, whatever it may be. I want to move to California so I can grow an avocado tree in my backyard. I'm serious. I will move there for that sole purpose.
When I first heard about avocado ice cream, however, I was pretty skeptical. Although avocado is technically a fruit (Right? It goes on trees and all), it still seems very vegetabley to me. So I came across a recipe for avocado ice cream on Pinterest, where I always seem to find the most amazing recipes, and decided to try my hand at making it. I bought an ice cream maker last year and have used it once to make the most disgusting batch of mango sorbet. So, here's the recipe taken from Two Peas and their Pod via Perfect Scoop: Ice Creams, Sorbets, Granitas, and Sweet Accompaniments by David Lebovitz:
