Avocado Ice Cream


One of my favourite ice creams is AVOCADO ICE CREAM. Avocadoes has a creamy texture and very subtle taste. The blended creamy flesh of ripen avocadoes combined with a great ice cream base results in extra smooth and densed ice cream. Avocado ice cream reminds me of the avocado milkshakes I drank in Indonesia, so I normally top mine with chocolate sauce. It is difficult to get Avocadoes in Kuala Lumpur. I can only find the imported ones from South Africa and Australia. So making this ice cream here is expensive! One small avocado cost RM5.00 to 6.00 each in the supermarket. I even tried scouring few wet markets and still I see imported Avocadoes.So this time I asked my brother who was returning from Sabah to KL to get me as much as he could carry from Sabah. I was so excited to see them when he arrived. Avocadoes are in abundance in Sabah when in season. I have seen some as huge as a papaya when I used to buy them at the market! The ones he brought back were not as large but they were still larger than the imported ones we have here. Now I have a plan to get avocadoes air flown in whenever someone returns from Sabah.
