What is an Avocado Semifreddo?

An Avocado Semifreddo is a semi-frozen Italian dessert made with just one Avocado (well, there are other ingredients too. See below.). It’s consistency is between a gelato and ice cream. I think I will just call it an Avocado Jett-freddo!

Avocado Semifreddo Recipe

Ingredients

2 Tablespoons butter
1/2 cup raw or roasted pistachios, chopped
3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
1 large avocado
3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

Prepare Nut Mixture

In a non-stick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped nuts and sugar. Stir until sugar browns (about 5-minutes). Be very careful not to burn the sugar/nut mixture. Remove from heat and let cool. Once cooled the mixture will be crunchy and may stick together. That is fine. Just break it up when it calls for adding it to the ice cream mixture.

Prepare Pan

Spray loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray on all sides. Line pan with plastic wrap leaving about a 3″ overhang or so on all sides. I also sprinkle a few pistachios on the bottom like so.

Prepare to Make Avocado Puree

Using this handy tool, split the avocado, remove the seed, slice and discard peel and seed. Place sliced avocado into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl beat heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Fold into avocado puree and nuts into the whipped cream. Pour ingredients into prepared pan.

Freeze

Using the overhanging plastic fold over and cover ingredients. Freeze for 4 to 6 hours.
