Mind Changing Ice Cream

Three scoops of ice cream: one for me, one for my brother and one for my new boyfriend who is being introduced to all sorts of new ways to use foods he doesn’t like.

Like avocados.

He doesn’t like them. He won’t go near guacamole. He would never put it in a salad.
He would not eat it in a box.
He would not eat it with a fox…..
He definitely would not eat it in ice cream!

He saw the avocado sitting there next to the coconut milk and the cocoa and he still thought it was for something else. Before he had a chance to ask, the avocado disappeared and made my mixture look like a nice thick, creamy, chocolate milkshake ready to chill and freeze.

He said “I was willing to try that until you put the avocado in there.”

I made him try it anyway. He grimaced, backed away and made it clear that he didn’t want to and when he finally tasted it, he said “Ok, so it’s not that bad!” After he finished his scoop, he said “When it’s cold, it’s definitely much better.”

I think it’s safe to say he’ll eat a cold, chocolate flavored avocado concoction.
Maybe not with a mouse…
But certainly in my house!

1 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons agave
1 Hass avocado

Makes about 4 cups or a quart of ice cream

*I’ve been using coconut milk powder lately because I tolerate it better. I use three tablespoons to one cup of water. I also use young coconut meat when I can find it.
