KEY LIME AVOCADO VEGAN ICE CREAM

Vegan, refined sugar-free, and paleo friendly key lime ice cream made with a secret ingredient…can you guess what it is??

I know, it’s a mind blow…but you guys, avocados make the creamiest, dreamiest, most scoopable vegan homemade ice cream that ever made your tongue’s acquaintance. Because vegan (or paleo) ice creams need a little help in the texture department, I’m always on the prowl for secrets to make it soft that don’t (obvi) involve egg yolks or heavy cream. As it turns out, avocados get the job done in great form!
