It was 95 degrees on Tuesday and all I could do to stay sane was float in the pool all day and eat a truck load of Paleo Mint Chocolate Chip Ice cream.
We don’t heat our pool so it’s ice cold but when the temp breaks 80 degrees, it’s heaven on earth.
Seriously.
The ice cream only made it a million times more bearable and I have been seriously digging how amazing avocado is in ice cream recipes (yes you will see more this week). The avocado gives it a light green color that screams mint and no, you can not taste it in the recipe.
It’s funny how I forget that for my son, recipes like this are brand new sparkly gems of sweets and for me, it’s a return to summers past where my brother, sisters and I would sit out in the hot Florida sun and wonder how to convince our mother to give us another scoop.

I am buying a ice cream maker! That looks great!!
I hope you enjoy it Lisa!
Would this keep in the freezer, or does the avocado not keep well? This looks so easy and yummy.
This keeps for a good week for me hun
