As an avid avocado and avocado dessert fan, I found Mavens Creamery’s avocado ice cream appealing. The ingredients include pasteurized milk and cream, cane sugar, sea salt, and stabilizers like xanthan gum. The sweetness level was just right – not too sweet, which is how I like my desserts. The texture was smooth and velvety with no ice crystals or fibrous chunks of avocado. The color was pale green with no signs of avocado browning. I did notice a slightly bitter avocado aftertaste that remained on my palate. It wasn’t a deal breaker; that’s just how avocados sometimes taste.
My husband tasted it, too, and remarked that it tasted “authentic,” meaning like real avocados. It also reminded me of Magnolia Avocado Ice Cream. This product is hard to find these days, coming from a company that specializes in flavors like buko pandan and ube macapuno. What Mavens Creamery’s avocado ice cream didn’t remind me of were soy-based and other plant-based ice creams, which often taste more like sorbet or icy treats to me than rich and creamy ice cream. I will happily be going back to Costco for seconds.
