Ingredients for Avocado Ice Lollies

This recipe is super simple and only calls for a few ingredients! You’ll need:

• Avocado - Avocado gives these ice lollies a beautiful buttery texture so make sure you use a very ripe avocado.
• Yoghurt -  I love using coconut yoghurt because it adds a gentle coconut flavour and makes it super creamy. You can use any type of yoghurt, just make sure you use full fat. 0% or low fat would make the ice lollies too icy and not so creamy
• Lemon - Lemon adds a zesty kick and brightens up the flavour making them taste fresh. You can also use lime.
• Maple Syrup - To add sweetness. You can use any other sweetener.
• Vanilla Extract -  Adds a lovely warm vanilla flavour.

You will also need lolly moulds , and make sure there's enough space in your freezer to hold the moulds upright.

How to Make Avocado Ice Lollies From Scratch

Making this recipe requires only a few steps. It does need to spend some time in the freezer though if you want an ice lolly like consistency! Follow these instructions:

STEP 1: Place all the ingredients in a food blender

STEP 2: Blend until super smooth and creamy.You might need to scrape down the sides of the blender couple of times. 

STEP 3: Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup

STEP 4: Divide the mixture equally between the lolly moulds and then pop the moulds in the freezer. Freeze for at least 6 hrs, or overnight, until completely solid.

To remove the lollies, dip the outside of the moulds in hot water for a few seconds

To make these avocado ice cream lollies even more delicious I added a drizzle of raw melted chocolate and some crushed walnuts. It makes them even more delicious. Try it!

Storing Tips

These lollies will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. Because homemade ice lollies freeze harder than store bought ones  remove it from the freezer about 10 minutes before serving.
