ocelotLeif and I just made good ice cream. Better than good. The texture was the most amazing thing ever, even if the flavor wasn't great.
I used the avocado chocolate pudding recipe - avocado, chocolate to taste, sweetener approximately equivalent to the chocolate, a little vanilla, a pinch of salt, and a little coconut milk because it seemed to thick for ice cream batter. I also tossed in a half eaten apple because it was there and needed to be used and it seemed like it needed something. Food process until smooth.
In theory, it doesn't taste like avocado. I've successfully made it not taste like avocado in the past. I think the main problem with the flavor was that these particular avocados seem to have a very strong flavor. I noticed it in the guacamole I made the other day, too.
Or maybe I just needed more chocolate.
The texture is more than enough to convince me I need to work on the recipe. Seriously, it's what you'd expect to find at some gourmet place for $10 a scoop.
Aikido cheered me up in spite of myself today. I was not in a receptive mood, but still felt better coming out than going in.
I have Serenity sitting here waiting for me to (finally) watch it, and two sleeping kids, but I think it's really too late to start it. Someday...
