How to make Avocado Banana Ice Cream
-
Prepare avocado and banana
After buying, cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Then, peel the avocado and proceed to slice it thinly.
For the banana, peel the banana. Next, use a knife to cut the banana lengthwise into thin slices.
-
Cook the syrup
You put 50gr of rock sugar into a pot along with about 100ml of filtered water. Next, place the pot on the stove and boil on high heat until the water boils and the sugar dissolves completely. After the sugar has dissolved, pour the syrup into a bowl and let it cool.
Note: When the sugar has completely dissolved, you should remove the pot immediately. Do not cook for too long as it will cause the sugar to turn brown into caramel! -
Mix the coconut milk mixture
You prepare a large bowl, add 50gr of unsweetened yogurt, 300ml of coconut milk, and 250ml of fresh milk into the bowl. Use a spoon to stir the mixture well.
Next, you add 5 tablespoons of the syrup you just cooked in step 2 and stir well.
Tip: If you prefer less sweetness, you can adjust the amount of sugar to your taste! -
Make ice cream
First, prepare a box with a lid. Then, place a layer of bananas at the bottom of the box. Next, layer some avocado on top.
Next, pour a thin layer of the coconut milk mixture into the mold and sprinkle some shredded coconut and some peanuts on top. Continue to repeat this process until the box is full.
Close the box and put it in the freezer refrigerator for about 6 – 8 hours, and it’s done! When eating, you can use a spoon to scoop it out or you can also use a knife to cut the ice cream into bite-sized pieces!

How to choose good bananas
- Choose bananas by observing the stem, avoid buying those with sap residue on the stem, as these bananas were artificially ripened while still unripe, resulting in a taste that is not as sweet or fragrant as naturally ripe bananas.
- Naturally ripe bananas have a dark yellow color, with brown or black spots on the skin, and the flesh is soft; artificially ripened or chemically treated bananas have a beautiful, smooth skin, but when lightly squeezed, they feel quite firm.
- If the bananas are naturally ripe, the flesh will be soft and fragrant, whereas if they are artificially ripened or chemically treated, the flesh will be tough, bland, or even bitter.
How to choose delicious ripe avocados
-
When selecting avocados, pay attention to the stem end; if the stem is small and still fresh, it indicates the avocado is naturally ripe and just right. A large stem indicates an old fruit, which will taste bitter.
- To make smoothies taste better, choose avocados that are mature and ripe, with dry seeds. You just need to shake the avocado; if it is ripe, the seed will rattle inside.
-
Choose avocados that feel firm in hand, with smooth, shiny skin that isn’t hollowed out or showing unusual signs like bruises, blemishes, or mottled colors.
