For those on a keto journey who’ve been longing for a creamy, dreamy ice cream treat, your wait is over! My Keto Avocado Ice Cream Bars recipe is here to quench that ice cream craving in the most delightful way.
Combining the rich, buttery texture of avocados with the tropical taste of coconut and the crunch of Brazil nuts, these bars are a perfect blend of taste and health. They’re not just satisfyingly sweet (thanks to stevia!), but also packed with good fats and nutrients, making them an ideal keto-friendly dessert.
Avocados are one of those foods that can go from savory to sweet. This fruit has many health benefits and is an excellent source of healthy fats and adds creaminess to any dish.
In many countries around the world, avocados are mainly used on sweet and desserts but the fact is that this fruit has a very neutral flavor which makes it a great component for both sweet and savory dishes.
There are hundreds of types of avocados in the world, but no matter what type of avocado you use on this recipe, they will all bring that creaminess making this dessert luscious and delicious.
This is a tropical dessert since it has all the tropical flavors from the coconut and the Brazil nuts.
When making the bars, I used liquid stevia but you can use regular powder stevia or erythritol if that is all you have on hand. In that case, please watch for the correct conversion to avoid being too sweet or not sweet enough.
If you can’t find Brazil nuts, you can substitute for any other nuts or even with a high percentage cacao dark chocolate or unsweetened cocoa nibs.
Another possible change for this recipe is using coconut milk or cream in the place of yogurt. This will really add to the creaminess of this dish.
You can even freeze this ice cream into small teaspoon bite sizes if you want something that you can grab and eat as you go.
How to Make Sugar Free Avocado Ice Cream Bars
Mix all ingredients, except the nuts and coconut, on a food processor or high-quality blender and blend it until smooth.
Remove the mixture from the food processor and add to a mixing bowl. Add the chopped nuts and shredded coconut, taste it and adjust the stevia to your preference.
Once the mixture is complete transfer it to a baking sheet or baking pan covered with parchment paper and greased with coconut oil.
Sprinkle with coconut and take to the freezer for at least 2 hours.
Remove from the freezer and cut into squares. Keep it on the freezer. This will keep well in the freezer for about 30 days.
