Avocado Icecream

Avocado are mostly imported and its very expenssive in Malaysia and occasionally you can find the indonesian imports that is slightly cheaper. Today I am lucky to have found these locally grown avocado near my neighborhood. A local resident in Penang planted the avocado tree in his own garden and harvested more than he can consume so he sold them to the street fruit stall, I am blessed to have spotted them! They are longer than the south africa avocado but the color is brilliant!

Ingredients:

(make 4-5)

3 avocado

50g coconut milk

50g water

30g palm sugar
pinch salt
option: add 1 tbsp lime juice, or blend in some mint leave

Blend all until very smooth, freeze them in the mold.
