Instructions

Add the flesh of 3 ripe avocados, 1 cup whole milk, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup honey or corn syrup, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and ½ teaspoon salt to the bowl of a food processor or blender.
Pulse until the avocado is smooth and the ingredients are combined.
Place the avocado puree into a large mixing bowl and add 2 cups heavy cream. Whisk until smooth and the heavy cream is fully integrated.
Pour the ice cream mixture into the bowl of an ice cream machine and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Mine typically takes between 25-45, but this will depend on the machine that you use.
Once the ice cream is churned, transfer the mixture to a loaf pan or other freezer-safe container. Cover and freeze for at least 3 hours, or until firm.
Set out at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before scooping.

Notes

Weigh your avocados. Use 360g of avocado flesh for consistent results. Avocado sizes vary, so a kitchen scale ensures accuracy.
Chill before churning. The ice cream base must be cold (at least 40°F) before churning, or it won't freeze properly. Chill for at least 30 minutes, or overnight.
Churning time varies. Depending on your ice cream maker and how cold your base is, churning takes 25-45 minutes. The ice cream is ready when it looks like soft-serve.
Storage tip. Press parchment paper or plastic wrap directly on the surface before freezing to prevent ice crystals. Best eaten within a week for optimal texture.
