Chocolate avocado ice cream with a brownie center -- served in a real avocado shell! You won't believe it's made with avocado and is dairy-free! So creamy and delicious.
Cut avocados in half and scoop out flesh (remember to save shells for serving)
Add avocado to food processor and blend smooth. Scrape down the sides.
{Use a can of coconut milk that has been refrigerated overnight) Carefully scoop out the solid cream into the food processor, saving the water for a smoothie.
Add ⅓ cup coconut sugar and remaining ingredients and blend smooth, making sure the sugar has dissolved.
Taste and adjust for sweetness, adding a couple more Tbs sugar, if needed, depending on the size of your avocados.
Fill shells with gelato and use a spatula to smooth the surface. Use a small spoon to scoop out a hole for the pit.
Freeze chococados for about 1-2 hours until firm. Place a brownie ball in each hole. Thaw on the counter for 20-30 minutes. ENJOY!
To make the brownie balls:
Soak dates in a small bowl of warm water for 5 minutes.
Remove dates from water (save water for blending) and slice open to remove pits.
Put all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until finely ground and a dough forms. Stream in 1-2 Tbs of soaking water if it needs help sticking together (or if mixture is too sticky, add 1-2 teaspoon coconut flour)
Use a cookie scoop to form 13 balls. Roll each in your hands to smooth out. Wet your hands if needed.
Place balls on a parchment lined plate and freeze until ready to assemble.

What I used:Coconut Milk: here on AmazonFood processor here on AmazonMexican Vanilla: here on AmazonTo store: Keep frozen in an airtight container for about 1 month. Thaw for approximately 20 minutes on the counter before serving.Note: this recipes makes enough gelato for SIX shells, but there are only FOUR avocado halves used in the recipe. So the remaining 2 can be served in a small bowl, or save some shells from your guac next time and throw them in the freezer.You'll also have enough brownie bites for 2 batches of gelato :) Another reason to make it again!To make these low carb, use monkfruit to taste *always taste*. And my low-carb brownie recipe.If you don't want to use seeds, use your favorite soft nut, such as walnuts, pecans or cashews.
