Ingredients
- 2 medium Hass Avocados
- 1/4 cup NOW Erythritol, Powdered
- 2 medium Limes, Juiced & Zested
- 1 cup Coconut Milk (from Carton)
- 1/4 tsp. Liquid Stevia
- 1/4 – 1/2 cup Cilantro, Chopped
Instructions
- Slice avocados in half. Use the butt of a knife and drive it into the pits of the avocados. Slowly twist and pull knife until put is removed.
- Slice avocado half vertically through the flesh, making about 5 slices per half of an avocado. Use a spoon to carefully scoop out the pieces. Rest pieces on foil and squeeze juice of 1/2 lime over the tops.
- Store avocado in freezer for at least 3 hours. Only start the next step 2 1/2 hours after you put the avocado in the freezer.
- Using a spice grinder, powder 1/4 cup NOW Erythritol until a confectioner’s sugar type of consistency is achieved.
- In a pan, bring 1 cup Coconut Milk (from Carton) to a boil.
- Zest the 2 limes you have while coconut milk is heating up.
- Once coconut milk is boiling, add lime zest and continue to let the milk reduce in volume.
- Once you see that the coconut milk is starting to thicken, remove and place into a container. It should have reduced by about 25%.
- Store the coconut milk mixture in the freezer and let it completely cool.
- Chop 1/4 – 1/2 cup cilantro, depending on how much cilantro flavor you’d like.
- Remove avocados from freezer. They should be completely frozen along with the lime juice. The lime juice should have helped them not turn brown.
- Add avocado, cilantro, and juice from 1 1/2 lime into the food processor. Pulse until a chunky consistency is achieved.
- Pour coconut milk mixture over the avocados in the food processor. Add 1/4 tsp. Liquid Stevia to this.
- Pulse mixture together until desired consistency is reached. This takes about 2-3 minutes.
- Return to freezer to freeze, or serve immediately!
