If you’ve been around The Roasted Root for a few years, you may remember my Dairy-Free Fudgesicles , 4-Ingredient Paleo Avocado Chocolate Mousse. or my Vegan Key Lime Popsicles. What these desserts have in common is they are all made with the same all-start ingredient: Avocados!
While it may seem strange to make a dessert using avocados, I pinky promise you, avocados make an incredibly mouth-watering creamy chilled or frozen treat. In addition to how tasty the result turns out, I love knowing the treat contains healthy fats from the California avocado and is made using cleaner ingredients than store-bought ice cream.
When combined with full-fat coconut milk, cocoa powder, and a liquid sweetener, California avocados make a mean chocolate ice cream!
Can you taste the avocado in this keto chocolate ice cream? Not in the slightest! Because avocados have such subtle flavor, they are easily masked by bolder flavors like cocoa. You can’t tell this ice cream is dairy-free! It turns out so creamy and custardy with a similar consistency to gelato.
For this particular recipe, we’re going the keto route using a sugar-free liquid sweetener to keep the recipe low-carb. There are plenty of options for sweeteners, so be sure to read the notes below!

My Chocolate Chip Paleo Blondies is one of my most popular recipes to date. My friend’s 11-year-old daughter makes them regularly to share with the family. They’re just so easy to make, and so incredibly tasty! Based on the family’s undying love for the blondie, I thought I would revisit the concept with a twist – using just almond butter and fresh strawberries.
This recipe couldn’t be any easier. The blondie “base” is just a couple of eggs, a whole lot of almond butter, coconut sugar, and some chopped strawberries for pomp and circumstance.
