Curious Yet Tasty Avocado Experiment

As some of you may know I attempted Alton Brown's avocado ice cream from his episode "Curious Yet Tasty Avocado Experiment." Well, it was curious alright, I'm still not sold on the tasty part. I think it was actually better before it went through the ice cream churn.
This one I did take pictures of as I made it so allow me to share them with you. These were taken with my phone so the artistic quality is not up to par but it should give you a good idea of the steps. I've also decided that I will attach the recipes to my posts that others may indulge in anything they want to try as well!

Avocado Ice Cream
(from foodnetwork.com)

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces avocado meat, approximately 3 small to medium
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Directions

Peel and pit the avocados. Add the avocados, lemon juice, milk, and sugar to a blender and puree. Transfer the mixture to a medium mixing bowl, add the heavy cream and whisk to combine. Place the mixture into the refrigerator and chill until it reaches 40 degrees F or below, approximately 4 to 6 hours.
Process the mixture in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's directions. However, this mixture sets up very fast, so count on it taking only 5 to 10 minutes to process. For soft ice cream, serve immediately. If desired, place in freezer for 3 to 4 hours for firmer texture.
