Avocado and Strawberry Ices

Made with creamy avocado, full of healthy fat, the balsamic vinegar brings out the flavour of the strawberries in these delicious ices.

Serves 4

Prep: 5 mins

Ingredients

• 200g ripe strawberries, hulled and chopped

• 1 avocado, stoned, peeled and roughly chopped

• 2 tsp balsamic vinegar

• ½ tsp vanilla extract

• 1-2 tsp maple syrup(optional)

Method

Step 1

• Put the strawberries (save four pieces for the top), avocado, vinegar and vanilla in a bowl and blitz using a hand blender (or in a food processor) until as smooth as you can get it. Have a taste and only add the maple syrup if the strawberries are not sweet enough.

Step 2

• Pour into serving glasses, add a strawberry to each, cover with cling film and freeze. Allow the pots to soften for 5-10 mins before eating.
