Amazing Avocado Gelato Recipe

Written by Daniel Amen, MD. Medically reviewed in January 2023 by Ann Wendling, MD, MPH.

Ingredients:

2 tbsp chocolate protein powder
½ cup unsweetened almond milk
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ cup avocado (cut in cubes)
1 tbsp unsweetened coconut flakes
1 drop stevia, chocolate flavor
1 tsp coconut butter

Preparation:

In a blender, mix all the ingredients except coconut flakes. Blend until creamy and smooth. Mixture should be very thick!
Smooth entire contents into a cake pan or drop in tablespoon-sized balls (like cookies, but a little thinner) onto a cookie sheet. Note that it is easier to spread the mixture into a cake pan, but it is a little more challenging to cut it after it has been frozen. Dropping onto a cookie sheet can be a little messy, but it is easier to grab and eat after freezing. Try it both ways and see how you like it.
Sprinkle coconut over the top.
Place cake pan or cookie sheet in the freezer for at least 2 hours until frozen.
Serve as a frozen treat. They taste like Fudgesicles!
