I’m always down for an ice cream pick me up, but especially right now that summer is in full swing! Instead of picking up ice cream at the store, I thought I would make my own for once! I added avocado and matcha, which gives this ice cream a bright green color, creamy texture and the right amount of sweetness! You’ll be surprised with how easy and delicious this ice cream is!
