Why You’ll Love This?

Look, regular ice cream is cool and all, but Ninja Creami Avocado Ice Cream? This stuff is creamy, shockingly luscious, and kinda makes you feel like you’ve tricked the universe by eating dessert that somehow counts as a vegetable (I mean, sort of). Eating it, you’d never guess there’s avocado in there. You get that rich texture without milk-fat overload, and it’s super easy to mix and freeze. Oddly satisfying when everyone gobbles it up, then does a double-take when you finally spill the “secret ingredient.” Texture fiends, this one’s for you—no icy chunks, just cloud-like spoonfuls. Kids eat it up? Totally, and so do picky adults, not gonna lie. Plus, there’s no egg, it’s nut-free, and you’re the boss of what goes inside. Fresh, simple, not boring. Who knew the green fruit could work such magic?

How To Make Avocado Ice Cream?

Alright, don’t stress. This is NOT a fussy recipe. You mostly need fresh avocados, something to sweeten, and a creamy liquid. Grab your Ninja Creami pint, toss in a ripe avocado (peeled and pitted—trust me, one slip-up and you’re blending skin), add about half a can of sweetened condensed milk, pour in a splash of milk or coconut milk, and a little squeeze of lemon juice if you like your flavors bright. Chuck in some vanilla if you’re feelin’ fancy. Mash everything up until it’s all blended. Freeze that tub upright. Overnight works best. Next day, spin it in your Ninja Creami on the ice cream setting. Usually it comes out perfect first go, but sometimes it might need a respin. No biggie! If it’s too thick, a tablespoon or so of milk helps. No science degree needed, promise.

Mix-in or Topping Suggestion

You can keep it classic and smooth, but honestly, jazzing it up is half the fun. Here are some crowd-pleasers:

• Sprinkle in dark chocolate chips before the final spin—hello, extra yum.
• Crushed pistachios for a little crunch and salty contrast.
• Swirl some honey on top when serving. Oh wow, trust me.
• Fresh berries tossed in for a tangy pop.

If you’re a topping monster like me, pile ‘em high. Live your best sundae life.

Variations

Now, if you’re feeling adventurous or have random ingredients, you can totally mess around with the basic Ninja Creami Avocado Ice Cream and make it your own. Sometimes I’ll make it a tropical vibe by using coconut milk and adding shredded coconut or a tiny splash of rum extract. For something super rich, toss in a scoop of matcha powder for that earthy flavor—don’t add too much unless you love grass clippings, though. Or, go the chocolate route and add cocoa powder, maybe a splash of coffee if you’re a rebel. It honestly takes on whatever you throw at it—except maybe pickles. Don’t try pickles. This is the best part of making dessert at home, anyway—you do you.

Honestly, I tried the avocado version on a dare, expecting it to taste like guac. But it was so creamy and smooth! My family devoured it and had zero clue it was made with avocado until I told them. New favorite summer treat for us!

Make It High Protein

Craving a Ninja Creami Avocado Ice Cream that pulls double-duty as gym fuel? You can make it protein-packed—just blend in a scoop of vanilla protein powder (plant or whey works fine). You might have to thin it out with a smidge more milk so it isn’t ultra-thick. Honestly, it’s kinda awesome for a post-workout treat or afternoon snack when I don’t wanna cook anything. If you want ideas for other high-protein frozen treats, I’ve obsessed over this best Ninja Creami protein ice cream and even tried a chocolate avocado protein ice cream mini batch that’s straight magic. Seriously, don’t sleep on the protein twist.

Can you use avocado in Ninja CREAMi?

Oh, absolutely. In fact, avocado almost feels like it was born to be whizzed up in a Ninja Creami. Its natural creaminess gives ice cream a rich, smooth base without the fuss of making custard or using loads of heavy cream. I’ve found avocado blends seamlessly with other ingredients, too. Just make sure you use a ripe one, because an underripe avocado is like trying to blend a rock—not fun and, trust me, your machine (and your mouth) will not forgive you. If you’re new to the Ninja Creami life, peep some of their more creative flavors (I mean, see almond joy or even apple cobbler style for inspiration), but honestly, avocado is a go-to starting point. It’s easier than you’d think.

Is avocado ice cream healthier than regular ice cream?

Most of the time, yes. Avocado is packed with healthy fats, fiber, and vitamins, so you dodge a lot of the heavy cream and added sugar in normal ice cream. You get a natural boost from avocado’s good stuff, plus, you control your add-ins—so less processed junk. If you go easy on the sweetener and pick a low-fat milk, your Ninja Creami Avocado Ice Cream can be a whole lot friendlier to your cholesterol and blood sugar. I’m not a doctor, just a snack enthusiast, but I for sure don’t feel the sugar crash after eating Ninja Creami Avocado Ice Cream like I used to with the store stuff. Swap in honey or agave for sugar and you up the healthy factor even more. Homemade is always better for you in my book, especially when the base is something green.

Can you put fresh fruit in Ninja CREAMi ice cream?

Heck yes, you can! Honestly, tossing in some chopped fruit towards the end (or even mid-spin, once it’s halfway creamy) is a game changer. I’ve tried everything from strawberries and mango chunks (try the mango ice cream Ninja Creami, it’s chef’s kiss) to blueberries and, yes, even banana. For avocado ice cream, I love adding a handful of berries on top when serving for a refreshing bite. Make sure the fruit pieces aren’t massive or they’ll mess up the texture—just a little prep goes a long way. Also, soft fruits work better, nothing too watery! That’s my two cents.

Go Forth and Get Creamy!

Honestly, Ninja Creami Avocado Ice Cream changed my whole dessert game. You get all the chill, none of the guilt, and it’s super easy to switch-up depending on your mood. If you love chocolate, check out the Chocolate Avocado Creami Ice Cream from Kelly’s Clean Kitchen or see what wild combos other fans are loving on this oh sooo creamy avocado ice creammm!!! Reddit thread. Just trust yourself, play in the kitchen, and don’t worry about everything being perfect. Next time you see an avo looking sad on the counter, you’ll know just what to do.
