Avocado Ice Cream

Avocado ice cream is a creamy, rich frozen dessert that uses ripe avocados as its base, often blended with sweeteners like condensed milk or sugar and a splash of citrus to prevent browning. While its roots are in Southeast Asian cuisines, particularly in the Philippines and Vietnam, it has gained global popularity as a unique, dairy-free alternative to traditional ice cream.
