How To Store Avocado Ice Cream
To store your delicious avocado ice cream, I recommend using an air-tight container that is freezer-safe. I often use my glass meal prep containers and then adding a layer of plastic wrap over the top to keep it air-tight.
The cool, creamy, nutty flavour of avocados adds a unique and delicious flavour to the ice cream. In fact, it’s one of those flavours you’ll crave time and time again after trying it the first time!
