Avocado Frozen Yogurt.
The fourth week of May is known as National Frozen Yogurt Week, so I thought I’d play along this time: every single recipe on my blog this week will center around the frozen-yogurt theme, starting with today’s slightly-unconventional recipe for Avocado Frozen Yogurt.
The avocado makes this frozen dessert extra creamy and super healthy. Yes, it sounds strange, but this avocado dessert might just convert even the biggest avocado hater. And hey, at least it’s not Spinach Ice Cream!
Avocado Frozen Yogurt
Adapted from Homemade Frozen Yogurt
- 1 large, ripe avocado (it should be soft)
- 2 cups plain yogurt of choice (such as Wholesoy) (440g)
- 1/2 cup milk of choice (120g)
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract (2g)
- 1/8 tsp salt
- pinch pure stevia extract, or 3-4 tbsp sugar of choice (Amount will depend on the sweetness of your yogurt, and you may need more if you’re using an unsweetened yogurt. You want the non-frozen mixture to taste a little too sweet for your liking, as it is less sweet once frozen.)
Avocado frozen yogurt recipe: Scrape out the flesh of the avocado and discard the peel and pit. Blend all ingredients until completely smooth, in a blender, food processor, or Vita-Mix. If you have an ice cream maker, transfer mixture to the machine and churn according to manufacturer’s directions. My Cuisinart took just 10 minutes. Eat immediately as soft-serve, or freeze in an airtight container for a half hour if you want a firmer texture. (If you don’t have an ice cream machine, you can simply transfer the blended mixture to an airtight container, freeze, and stir every half hour for 2-3 hours. The texture won’t be quite as creamy, but it still works.)

What flavor gets your vote for Frozen Yogurt Week?
Feel free to leave as many flavor suggestions as you can dream up. There are four large containers of yogurt in my refrigerator, just waiting to be turned into frozen yogurt. Link of the Day:

Can you tell the weather is getting warmer?
Interesting recipe! Does it taste overwhelmingly like avocado though? What about adding different flavoring to this?
This was my fear as well Danielle.. I found the vanilla covered up the avocado flavor pretty well.. and I don’t like avocado at all 🙂 so that was definitely a plus 😉
Whhooopps! I meant Sarah, haha sorry!! 🙂
Oh, that’s good. I just didn’t think that avocado frozen ice cream sounded very appetizing.
Black sesame seed, chocolate and coffee combo! sugar free!
Oatmeal cookie froyo! They had it at my local frozen yogurt place last summer and it was so delicious! Also, peanut butter Oreo, iced cupcake, and sugar cookie froyos! 🙂
This sounds super good, Katie! I actually have some avocado in the freezer, to keep it from going bad! Looks like I should turn it into dessert 🙂
I have to admit, I was a little disgusted by the title of this post. But I put avocado in smoothies, so this can’t be too different.
I would love it if you made a recipe for chocolate cheescake, butter pecan, brownie batter, pistacho, or birthday cake frozen yogurt.
I forgot that you already had a brownie batter recipe! Oops!
So green! I need to get an ice cream maker because I want to make this right now!
I love the sound of avocado in desserts! Sounds amazing. You should use some of your healthy nutella you made a while ago and make a nutella froyo– yummmm
I bet I would love this. I cannot get enough of avocados lately.
Genius!! That sounds so good!
I don’t know how to tell you this . . .YOU ARE MY BEST FRIEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I made your pie with avocado and fed it to my avocado hating family, they loved it! I know this will be AMAZING!
