Avocado Ice Cream (Vegan)
"This is the best ice cream I have ever had. It is so delicious and easy to make. Best of all, there are no animal products involved! The vitamin C tablet might seem strange but you really can't taste it at all and it keeps the avocados from turning brown."

Delicious and easy. This was the first time I've tried avocado ice cream. It makes a nice smooth ice cream. I added the avocados to the soy milk mixture while it was still warm as I am slightly allergic to raw avocado and it worked out well.
