Okay, so this mint chocolate chip ice-cream thing is outta control.
I mean, I’m a big fan of mint chocolate chip ice-cream…
I’m the kid who used to strictly eat mint chocolate chip or vanilla- that’s basically it.
I hated chocolate ice-cream.
I hated bubblegum.
Yeah… but I really loved minty ice-cream packed out with all the chocolates. 🙂
And this one made with all the avocados has won my heart.
This recipe is so simple!
And the best part about this recipe is: you don’t need an ice-cream maker!!!
Yup, you heard it here first. 🙂
All I do is pop it into a metal bowl and let it chill out in the freezer for a bit until it’s nice and thick and creamy- cone licking worthy.

Can peppermint essential oil be substituted for the mint extract? And, can I use my ice cream maker?
Hi Gloria, you can use an ice-cream maker and I’m not sure on the essential oil, but it sounds like it might be worth a try?
Do not eat essential oils!!!!
I’m so excited for this!!
Can I use a glass bowl instead of metal?
Hi Erin, that should work- I just suggest metal, because it freezes faster. 🙂
Hi Kaylie, I made this and I just cant seem to mask the avocado flavor! Maybe I needed to add more mint or more coconut milk? I did follow the directions to the t. ??
Hi Gretchen, you can feel free to add more mint extract. Some avocados have a stronger flavor, but also the avocado taste won’t completely disappear, but I like it! If you don’t prefer it, then you can reduce the avocado amount or add more mint. 🙂
Hi there,
You have written the nutrition facts, and I see the recipe makes 12 serves, but approx what size is a serve? Thanks.
Hi Michelle, it’s about a medium ice-cream scoop. 🙂
Hi, can I use fresh mint in place of mint extract?
Yes, that would be yummy!
Do you think frozen avocado chunks would work in a blendtec? Thanks!!
I don’t own a Blendtec, so I cannot say. Sorry!
I guess I jusjust mean do you think frozen avocado chunks would work in general? Thanks!!
Oh, I don’t think it’s necessary.
Could honey or monk fruit syrup replace the maple syrup?
Hi Jennifer, you can sub the maple syrup for honey in this recipe- it will just have a stronger honey flavor naturally, if you like that, then it’s a great sub!
