Chocolate Chip Chocolate Avocado Ice Cream (Paleo/ Vegan/ Dairy Free/ Gluten Free/ No Ice Cream Machine Necessary)
3 ripe avocados
1/2 c. maple syrup or xylitol for sugar free (honey if not vegan)
1/2 c. raw cacao or cocoa
1 c. milk alternative (I use my cashew milk)
1 tsp. vanilla (I use my vanilla)
1/4 tsp. sea salt
1/2 c. chocolate chips (I use Enjoy Life brand)
Put all ingredients into the blender except chocolate chips. Blend until smooth. Put into freezer safe container, add chocolate chips and stir every 30 minutes until desired texture. For the leftovers, let sit out 10-15 minutes before serving so it softens slightly.
