Honeyed Avocado Ice Cream

Today, I'm going to share a different kind of Christmas treat with you! Something that probably wouldn't be your first choice for a festive dessert, but hear me out...


I love Christmas, but I am the worst person in the world for self-restraint. I just can't do it. I have a massive weak spot for Christmas dinner. If there's turkey in the house, I'm going to eat it. Add in macaroni and cheese, sweet potato casserole, dressing and sweet potato and pecan pie and I have no chance of staying out of the fridge. That's where this dessert comes in! It's designed for people like me who have difficulty resisting the leftovers lure and who want something a bit less calorific than all those goodies I just described. There's no added sugar in this ice cream. No gluten and no dairy. No ice cream maker needed. It's good for you. Well, as good for you as any ice cream can be. Okay, well, it's better for you than yet another slice of pecan pie!
