Even if you\u2019re avoiding dairy, there\u2019s no reason to miss out! I first learned to make homemade ice cream when we were avoiding dairy <a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/remedies\/eczema-remedies\/\">for my son<\/a> years ago. Even though I\u2019ve added some dairy back into my diet, this dairy-free mint chocolate chip ice cream recipe is still a family favorite.<\/p>\n<p>This mint chocolate ice cream gets its creaminess from coconut milk and avocado. Since making ice cream is on our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/travel\/summer-bucket-list\/\">summer bucket list<\/a>, I\u2019m glad to have an ice cream recipe full of nutrients and healthy fats for the kids to enjoy.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-i-scream-you-scream-we-all-scream-for-avocado-ice-cream\">I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream For\u2026 Avocado Ice Cream?<\/h2>\n<p>Instead of whipping cream or heavy cream, this mint chip ice cream gets its creaminess from avocadoes.<\/p>\n<p>Avocados have such a mild taste and creamy texture that they\u2019re perfect for desserts. I\u2019ve used them before in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/recipes\/green-smoothie\/\">cucumber lime veggie smoothies<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/recipes\/healthy-shamrock-shake\/\">real food shamrock shakes<\/a>. Whenever I find a good deal on avocados, I know it\u2019s time to stock up and make chocolate mint ice cream (and maybe some <a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/recipes\/desserts\/avocado-brownie\/\">avocado brownies<\/a> too).<\/p>\n<p>Another reason avocados work so well for mint chocolate chip ice cream is the light green color they naturally add. It\u2019s not bright like the green food coloring found in store bought versions though (which is probably a good thing!).<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-homemade-mint-chocolate-chip-ice-cream-with-coconut-milk\">Homemade Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream With Coconut Milk<\/h2>\n<p>To make the ice cream, I simply puree everything except the chocolate chips together in a blender and then pour it into the ice cream maker. I add the chocolate chips once it starts to thicken. If you don\u2019t have an ice cream maker you can freeze it without one, just stir it occasionally until it thickens.<\/p>\n<p>You can use either semi-sweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate for this. You can even use a chopped chocolate bar. The little bits of chocolate add a nice crunchy texture the the smooth ice cream. I always opt for a darker chocolate since it has more <a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/health\/crave-chocolate\/\">health benefits<\/a> and less additives.<\/p>\n<p>This homemade version skips the granulated sugar and instead uses a touch of raw honey to sweeten.
