Why is the Baking Tray Method Preferred?

If you add all your avocados to a freezer bag, they will freeze up, but they trend to get stuck together while freezing. Using a tray, you can add them to a bag later and they shouldn't stick.

What Else Could I Use Frozen Avocados for?

While we are still testing a few ideas with our frozen avocados, there are many possibilities! You could make a thick vibrant green smoothie with them in a high speed blender. You could also reconstitute them with savory flavors and turn them into a spread. Just add a couple tablespoons of lemon juice so the spread can warm up without browning so much.

What Toppings Could I Use?

Double down on the chocolate! We have an amazing vegan chocolate sauce recipe that your whole family will love! You could also add fresh fruits like strawberries or banana in it. Or top with toasted shredded coconut, vegan sprinkles, or chopped nuts.

Notes

Notes 1: If you plan to store some of your nice cream, reduce the amount of chips you add and save them for later. If you plan to re-blitz your nice cream, this will make sure all your chocolate isn't obliterated.
Note 2: If you just don't want to make your own frozen avocados, some stores sell it in packages.
Note 3: This is an optional flavoring. Spearmint or peppermint extract would also work but be careful because they're quite strong. Start with a quarter teaspoon. Use any sort of flavoring you like, since avocado is a pretty neutral base! Add cocoa powder for chocolate avocado nice cream, a teaspoon of pure vanilla extract for vanilla avocado nice cream, and so on.
