• 8 basil leaves
• 1/2-3/4 cup maple syrup or raw agave
• 1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice

PREPARATION

1. Step 1 :  Combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender and pulse until smooth. You can let the frozen avocado soften at room temperature for a few minutes if you don’t have a very strong food processor.
2. Step 2 :  Adjust sweetness to taste, you might want to use more than the 1/2 cup of sweetener if you prefer sweeter treats.
3. Step 3 :  Serve right away at soft serve consistency or transfer to a container and freeze. Let thaw slightly on the counter before scooping the ice cream out and serving.
