This Mint Chip Avocado Ice Cream is made with only six ingredients and doesn’t require an ice cream maker! It’s also diary-free, gluten-free, vegan and paleo-friendly. This post is sponsored by Almond Breeze.
Move over banana ice cream, there’s a new fruit-based ice cream in town. It’s avocado ice cream, aka ice cream made with creamy avocados and it’s the bomb. “The bomb” isn’t really in my everyday vocabulary, but there’s really no better way to describe this delicious, creamy treat.
Lucky for you, avocados have a super mild flavor so your avocado ice cream will taste like the flavors and toppings you mix in. I love adding peppermint extract and chocolate chips for a mint chip variation but the options are endless!
liquid sweetener – I like to use maple syrup but feel free to use your sweetener of choice!
coconut oil
peppermint extract
mini chocolate chips – I like to buy the EnjoyLife dairy-free chocolate chips.
How to Make Avocado Ice Cream
One of the best parts about this avocado ice cream recipe is how simple it is! And! You don’t need an ice cream maker… just a high powered blender or food processor. Add all of the ingredients except the chocolate chips into your blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Stir in the chocolate chips and transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container. I lined a loaf pan with parchment paper! Put the container in the freezer for 4-5 hours so the ice cream can set. Top with your favorite ingredients and enjoy!

1/4 cup maple syrup, honey or other liquid sweetener*
1 Tablespoon coconut oil
1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
1/4 cup dairy-free mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Add all ingredients except for the chocolate chips into a high powered blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Stir in chocolate chips and pour into a freezer-safe container. I used a loaf pan lined with parchment.
Place container in the freezer to set. It should take about 4-5 hours. Once frozen, pull ice cream from the freezer, let sit out on the counter for 5-10 minutes to soften. Use an ice cream scoop to serve and enjoy!
Notes
Feel free to use your sweetener of choice here. Play around with using stevia instead of maple syrup/honey if you want to reduce the sugar content.

I doubled the amount of peppermint extract after seeing some of the other reviews. It turned out really good and could barely taste the avocado. Love that I now have a use for Avocados about to go bad. Will definitely be making again, Thanks for sharing!
I’m so glad this ice cream was a hit with your family!! Thanks for trying my recipe and for coming back to leave a comment and star rating, I so appreciate it!
I was not expecting to taste the avocado, thought it would just add creaminess. Would adding more mint extract or green types of fruit help the taste? I did not care for the flavor.
I complete late that it’s constantly properly to depart a mark. This facilitates to noted the author for his hardwork and is to boot correct.I examine most of the posts to your journal. My weblog happiness to a comparable category permits state tons of. Love them.
Megan, what’s the best substitute to make the ice cream with great taste but as low in sugar as you can get without ruining the flavor . Also did you ever use xylose, and if so were can you purchase it. Thank you Rodney LaBorde
My 13 year old daughter and I made this tonight N it was AMAZING!!! The only thing we did differently, is we went oil free by using pure coconut butter in place of oil and we put it in our ice cream machine ( the kind that uses a frozen bowl, no ice, and takes 20 minutes)!!! Will definitely make this again…like tomorrow 😉
Omg. It tastes good with just the batter alone. I added a tiny more bit of almond milk and used a spoon to help it blend. Peppermint oil work well to.cant wait for it to freeze so i can eat this delicious indulgence!
Ohhhh you are ON to something! The only ice cream alternatives that I’ve made so far are banana ice cream variations, but I could totally get down with this!
What a cool idea! I can’t wait to try it! This would be great for all those times I buy avocados and forget to use them up within the first couple days.
OOOH yum! I will most definitely be trying this over this 4th of July weekend!! Thanks for sharing! I think this would make an amazing pistachio ice cream as well!

Yay!! I’m so glad you enjoyed this avocado ice cream, Nicole. 🙂 Thanks for trying it and for coming back to leave a comment. I so appreciate it!
I love avocados and this sounded good so I gave it a try. It personally is a bit too “avocadoey” tasting for me.
★★★
Hey Jessica – Thanks for giving my recipe a try! You can certainly add more peppermint extract to take away more of the avocado taste. 🙂
This was my first attempt at making ice cream, and my family loved it- even my picky kids. My husband says it tastes like a grasshopper. Thank you!

SO CREAMMYYYYYYYY (googly eyes)
Thanks babe! This is right up your alley.
I’ve only ever tried avocado pudding and loved it, so I’m sure I’d love this ice cream! I’m a huge fan of mint chocolate chip anyways!
Avocado pudding is delicious too! This is essentially frozen avocado pudding, but the consistency is spot on with ice cream. I’m hooked!
What a cool idea! I can’t wait to try it! This would be great for all those times I buy avocados and forget to use them up within the first couple days.
Exactly!!! Put those extra ripe avocados to use! 🙂
OOOH yum! I will most definitely be trying this over this 4th of July weekend!! Thanks for sharing! I think this would make an amazing pistachio ice cream as well!
Woo-hoo!! Send me a picture and let me know what you think. Also, you are a genius. Totally making pistachio next!
This looks incredible! 🙂

Thank you so much, Izzy. You’d really love it.
I can’t get over how creamy this avocado ice cream looks! The texture is spot-on! 😀
Has anyone tried making it with stevia or Erythritol ?
Thank you, Sarah. I was honestly shocked by how well it turned it out. Even my husband loved it and said the texture was perfect.
This looks and sounds dreamy! I need to get coconut oil and peppermint extract to make this soon!
Yes! Go grab those things and make it ASAP. You’re going to love it.
Can you make this without the peppermint? Does it still taste good?
Totally. I love the minty flavor, but it’s still delicious without it.
