Green Ice Cream

Yesterday I went to make some homemade ice cream, started it, it was coming along nicely, and then I sat down to the computer to do some drawing of heraldic achievements to decorate the coat of arms for our potential barony, to be displayed after the polls to decide on them close later today.

Then I forgot about the ice cream. A long time later we looked, and, where it had been thickening up and starting to freeze last time we had looked at it, by the time I remembered its existence it had gone back to fully liquid. So we poured it into a bowl, covered it, and put it into the freezer overnight, and washed the ice block thingie and put it back into the freezer. I didn't know one could run the ice cream maker long enough for it to melt again. Lesson learned.

Today I put it back into the ice cream maker, and this time set an alarm, so I wouldn't forget. Oh my, this batch is yummy!

If any of you share my taste in food, and want to try it:

Green Ice Cream

3 small pears, cored and coarsely chopped
2 small avocado, peeled, seed removed
1 small carrot (grated)
0.5 cups almond meal
500 ml cream
500 ml milk
1 T honey
0.5 cups chopped pistachio

Puree the fruit and vegetable (I used an immersion blender), blend in everything else. Freeze in an ice cream maker. Enjoy.

The pureed fruit and veg looked to be around 4 cups total, before adding the other stuff and this batch really filled the ice cream maker. I need to remember to never mix up more than this at one go.
