This recipe is dairy free, refined sugar-free and additive-free. I love pistachio ice cream but have had trouble thinking of a way to make it green without using artificial food coloring. I recently learned that avocados may be used as a substitute for eggs. Do you see where this is going? A raw avocado ice cream recipe made with almond milk, but instead of using vanilla extract, as some may have thought, I used almond extract. Just delicious! It also contains agave syrup. Check out my recipe below.
Look for this and many more recipes in my upcoming cookbook, Carla’s Best 125 Gluten Free Recipes.
A dairy-free avocado ice cream recipe. Incredible, as you cannot taste the avocado. Use almond milk and almond extract. It's truly amazing!

Tips
I made this recipe to be low-fat by using only 1 avocado and it came out delicious, but it is much creamier with 2. Using one avocado makes this ice cream in between ice cream and ice milk.
I do not suggest mixing the nuts into the ice cream prior to freezing, as I have tried this before and the raw pistachios become soft.
You can always serve this as a soft serve. It was good before I added the pistachio nuts, but the pistachio nuts make it taste richer.
Use "raw" agave if you wish to make a real raw food!
Though not raw, adding 1/4 teaspoon guar gum or xanthan gum makes it less icy, and adds a bit of a chew, as in store-bought ice cream.

September 2015 - Feedback from one of Carla's recipe testers for her cookbook,
"I used about ¼ cup after chopping. 15 minutes prep, 25 minutes in ice cream maker (Cuisinart) and now in freezer, though it was pretty much a firm soft serve by then. I used Almond Breeze plain milk, not homemade almond milk. A bit too sweet but otherwise surprisingly good! lovely color. Does not taste like avocado!
I got about ¾ quart. I don’t mind the nuts getting soft as my teeth hurt."

This starts out looking healthy , but then you add agave, which is worse than high fructose corn syrup.
I'm impressed by this recipe and I can't wait to make it - I have all the ingredients, too! including my Cuisinart Ice Cream maker. I haven't tried using guar gum or xanthan gum yet, but I'm picking some up from Whole Foods today!! I like making my own ice creams, I'm not on a dairy-free or egg-free regimen, but I don't like products that have high dairy fat or lots of eggs Thank you sooo much.
This is such a unique recipe for ice cream...and healthy too!
It is so delicious! I've had a lot of good feedback from my Facebook friends.
