AVOCADO ICE CREAM

This is the fourth and the last Philippine Ice Cream flavors i made this summer. Yes, Avocado! And yes, there is more to avocado than guacamole and a sandwich component. In Asian countries avocado is a dessert. It really isn't a surprise or "weird" considering that the avocado is creamy, buttery and sweet. Give this a try and i'm sure you'll look at avacado as a dessert also.
