Keto Avocado Ice Cream Bars with Coconut and Brazil Nuts
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 nut 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.
