We're creeping further into Fall, closer to Hallow's Eve, and -well- yeah, the world's falling apart. But hey, we're still here, and we're still keeping it silly.
When I saw this at the grocery store, I knew that I needed to once again sacrifice my taste buds for your benefit: Cado's Chocolate Avocado Ice-Cream.
And despite my look of shock or horror or outright weirdness, this stuff is really good. The chocolate tastes divinely rich but not heavy. Avocados seem to have the perfect texture to make for a tasty and healthy ice-cream. It doesn't taste avocado-y; it's a nice natural blend. Relative to other desserts, this one's low in fats, low in sugar...and yeah, we'll ignore the 4 servings thing. I finished it in two sittings, give or take one sitting.
All in all, my friends, I give Cado's Chocolate Avocado Ice Cream a 9 out of 10. Were it a bit cheaper, it'd be a 10. (It costs $5 or $6 - can't quite remember.)
Might you try this? Are you an avocado fan? It might be more of a California fetish, or just my own.
Keep a smile and stay silly, my dears.
Ooo I am the first commenter. How exciting. Since I never received that cake you promised, it is only fair that you mail me some of that ice cream.
ReplyDeleteIt's on its way, PTM. But I can't take blame for unreliable mail service. Or for a small amount that's left in the container.
DeleteI am a big fan of avocado. And chocolate. Which means that should be a winner - except that I think icecream is over rated.
ReplyDeleteAvocado/chocolate mousse is good though. And easy to make.
Ooh, that sounds scrumptious. I'll have to find a recipe. Thanks, EC.
DeleteWouldn't guess it would have been a winner with such a combo, but finishing it in one or 2 sittings sure makes it sound like a winner.
ReplyDeleteI didn't either. But it works, Pat.
DeleteImagine that.
I would have tried it had I seen it but I would have expected it to be disgusting. Wow!
ReplyDeleteIt's an unlikely duo, but I think it's the texture of avocados that makes this work. It doesn't have a lot of flavor, which also makes this work.
DeleteCheers, Mitchell.
Avocado? I don't know. I haven't had ice cream in months. Maybe I should keep it up. I've never heard of Cado's.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
I hadn't heard of it before either. It might be a West Coast thing. But you do have avocados there too. How do you have the strength to boycott ice cream for months? That's impressive.
DeleteLove.
So it's ice cream and avocado mixed together? Is there dairy in it? When I buy soy ice cream, it's expensive, too.
ReplyDeleteGood question, Diane. I think it's dairy and cream free - which is why it's much healthier than ice cream. Yeah, soy is pricey too, but worth it.
DeleteOh, that photo of you, LOL! And yeah, "give or take one sitting" -- we know you, girl!
ReplyDeleteYou know me far too well to add, versus subtract, a sitting.
DeleteSmiles.
Yum. Id eat it.
ReplyDeleteYou'd like it, R's R.
DeleteI am not a fan of avocados, but will try anything that might lead to a healthy chocolate binge.
ReplyDeleteGo for it, Elizabeth. You can't really taste the avocado - it just makes for a healthy key ingredient.
DeleteCheers.
I like both, so I would expect to love this!
ReplyDeleteI believe you would, Susan.
DeleteThanks.
I like ice cream and I like avocados but what really commends this product is the 2nd pic package nutrition tag: "Cholesterol OMG!" It's gotta be good!
ReplyDeleteHaha! You have a very clever eye. Yes, anything including "cholesterol OMG!" has to be OMG good.
DeleteBe well, Geo.
the word avocado does not bode well when combined with chocolate. But I have to take your word. You are the expert!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the label. As you've seen I don't like everything with chocolate, and this one really is yummy. =)
DeleteI would definitely try it. And Cabo at the story I normally shop often have a 2 for 1 sale, that’s when I buy it. I’ll keep my eye out for this.

This is not a combination I would have thought tasty, but I'll take your word for it. Thanks for being brave enough to go where the rest of us are afraid to venture.
ReplyDeleteI will try it but I won’t buy it unless I find I like it🤪.
