I have been looking for this for years! My mom got some when I was younger and we didn’t know what it was called and couldnt remember where we got it lol thank u!

My only question is what is up with the salt content? I can buy zaatar at many local stores here in Chicago where salt is not listed as an ingredient.

I’m trying to do a low salt diet and was hoping to make my own salt-free zaatar.

Feel free to leave it out!

Milagros Beck says

My experience has been that the salt content is on point. Not too much or too little. One knows its there however it is not the case that anyone of the mixed ingredients over power…balanced perfectly. I alter my mix and augment certain spices i.e. sumac or marjoram or cumin depending on the use/flavoring of certain dishes….

Bill Jonas says

Thanks to AltonBrown, I look up this recipe and yours came up. Made it within minutes – dropped some naan bread in the toaster oven and WOW! This will be a staple in my seasoning library. Thank you for posting it.

Came out wonderfully. I added some marjoram, too. Lovely! Putting it on everything!

Avocado ice cream

Creamy, smooth and divinely textured vegan avocado ice cream. Easy 8-ingredient recipe with perfect flavor and the perfect melt-in-your-mouth texture.

This vegan avocado ice cream is so smooth and creamy you will totally fall in love with it.

It has a perfect melt-in-the-mouth consistency and the color is totally gorgeous.

It’s also extremely easy to make.

I tried a version of this that just did not work at all. And I should have known as soon as I tasted it right after blending it because it tasted just like (very) sweet guacamole.

But I thought, well…. maybe it will be better once it’s churned?

So I churned it and then froze it and then it tasted like frozen sweet guacamole!

Not at all what I was aiming for.

So I tried again and this time I used a little less avocado, a little more coconut cream and coconut milk and a little less sugar and then we had avocado ice cream perfection!

Just enough avocado flavor so that you know you’re having avocado ice cream but nothing at all like frozen guacamole!

Just smooth, beautifully textured, creamy ice cream.

How to make vegan avocado ice cream

This is really one of the easiest vegan ice creams I’ve made.

Usually when making vegan ice cream, I heat the coconut cream and coconut milk with the sugar until it reaches a simmer and then I blend it. This ensures a really smooth even consistency with the perfect ice cream mouthfeel.

But I just had a feeling that since we’re going to be adding two avocados to the mix, that it would not be necessary. And I was totally right!

So this saves time on this recipe, you simply throw all your ingredients: coconut cream, coconut milk, sugar, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla, salt and two avocados into a blender and blend until very smooth.

Then you churn it in your ice cream machine until it reaches a soft serve consistency. Transfer to a loaf pan, smooth it down, and then freeze it for several hours until frozen.

Scoop and serve and enjoy yourself hugely with this perfectly textured vegan ice cream.

The secrets to the best vegan avocado ice cream!

Okay so it’s not a secret at all because I’m about to tell you!

Full fat ingredients. We use a mix of full fat coconut cream from the can, full fat coconut milk, also from the can, and of course ripe avocados.

You definitely don’t want to make this with low fat ingredients or with thinner plant milks like almond milk. It won’t be nearly as good that is for certain.

If you are allergic to coconuts but still want to make this ice cream then I would try using a vegan cream like a soy cream or something like that instead. I have not tested it this way, but that would be what I would try. It needs to be high in fat and super creamy. That is the secret to good ice cream.

Lemon juice stops the avocado from oxidizing. We’re blending and then churning and only then are we freezing. Without lemon juice added there is too much time for the avocados to oxidize during this process. The lemon juice keeps that from happening.

Maple syrup goes along with the sugar to create the sweetness but also to assist in creating that perfect texture.

Vanilla extract and sea salt provide flavor depth and balance.

Churn or no churn?

You definitely want to churn! Churning the ice cream incorporates air which helps with that delicious light and airy ice cream texture.

We do have some no-churn ice cream recipes like our vegan cookies and cream ice cream and our peanut butter banana ice cream that you might like to try if you’re a fan of no-churn vegan ice cream.

However, for this recipe I really do recommend an ice cream maker. If you want to make this without an ice cream maker of course you can, but it will not have the same texture. I’m sure it will still be good, but not nearly as good as if you churn it.

We have a Cuisinart ice cream maker and really love it! I’ve used it for all our vegan ice cream recipes and it works like a charm.

So I hope you’re going to love this vegan avocado ice cream. It is:

• Creamy


• Smooth


• Perfectly textured


• Avocado flavored


• Simply divine!

Even though this is ice cream, it is still best to consume it when fresh. It’s going to be at its best within the first week to 10 days after making it.

Reviews

This delightful fruity salad has been a family favorite for sixty years and was served with Easter dinner. The recipe was passed to our family my great aunt. We use the miniature fruit flavored marshmallows, which gives the salad a spring color.

My mom has made this ever since I can remember. She passed it on from NaNa. My family just loves it. Feels like home!

This recipe was passed down to me by my mother almost 50 years ago. The correct name is "5 Cup". We still make it every Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter in remembrance of my Mom!

I love this fruit salad. The only thing that I do differently is use a cup of Dannon's light and fit vanilla yogurt instead of the sour cream. That yogurt is soooo delicious in this recipe. I sometimes add green grapes cut in half and always double the recipe.Try it with the Dannon's light and fit vanilla. Outstanding !

My family has been making this for as long as I can remember. One tip is to mix the sour cream, coconut, and marshmallows together first, before mixing in the pineapple and mandarin oranges. This helps keep the mandarin oranges from being crushed by too much mixing.

This is so simple and tasty. Great dish to bring to potlucks.

I have been making this for years my family loves it

Very good! So simple with just a few ingredients. I will be making it again!
