Mint Chocolate Chip Avocado Ice Cream 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. I’m calling it cado cream, but it’s essentially ice cream made with avocados and it’s the bomb. If you know me, you’ll know that “the bomb” isn’t really in my everyday vocabulary, but there’s really no better way to describe this delicious, creamy treat.
SEE HOW QUICK AND EASY THIS AVOCADO ICE CREAM IS TO MAKE:
Trust me. Or trust Tom Brady because apparently avocado ice cream is one of his favorite desserts. 🙂
I love banana ice cream and make it frequently during the summer months (my favs: healthy chocolate banana ice cream and oatmeal raisin cookie dough ice cream), but I know there are people out there who don’t like bananas.
Plus some ice cream flavors don’t really mesh with banana. Something about having a banana in my mint chocolate chip ice cream just doesn’t seem right to me.That’s where avocados come in!
Avocados are the perfect base for non-diary ice cream because they’re super duper creamy and the flavor is pretty neutral once sweetened. And their green color made turning this cado cream into mint chocolate chip avocado ice cream a total no brainer.
Eating it out of a waffle cone was another no brainer. Ice cream is always better from a cone.
Ingredient wise, this recipe is so simple. You need six ingredients = two avocados, Almond Breeze almondmilk, liquid sweetener of choice, coconut oil, peppermint extract and chocolate chips.
Blend everything up until smooth and creamy, add you chocolate chips, freeze and enjoy! No fancy ice cream maker required.
If you’re looking for a delicious, dairy-free ice cream treat to enjoy this summer you MUST make this avocado ice cream. It’s seriously so good and incredibly satisfying. I’ve already made the recipe three times because Isaac and I both absolutely love it. If you’re a mint chocolate chip fan I know you will LOVE it too.

PinDescription
Creamy mint chocolate chip ice cream made with avocados, almond milk and coconut oil. It’s diary-free, gluten-free, vegan and paleo-friendly.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla Almond Breeze almondmilk
- 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 can’t get over how creamy this avocado ice cream looks! The texture is spot-on! 😀
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.

Thank you so much, Izzy. You’d really love it.
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!
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! 🙂
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!
SO CREAMMYYYYYYYY (googly eyes)
Thanks babe! This is right up your alley.
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!
This looks so yummy! I’m going to try it, thanks for the share 🙂

Yay!! I’d love to hear what you think once you try it. 🙂
What would be the best nut free milk substitute? Coconut or regular milk?
Either would work great!

Is there any way to make this using regular sugar?
Hi Siena. I haven’t tried it with regular sugar, but I think it will turn out fine. Let me know if you try it!
Do you make this using the small or the large avocados?
Hi Debbie! Good question. I used the regular (medium sized) HASS avocados. Hope this helps!
Thanks 4 gorgeous recipie
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!
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 😉
