I live an hour away from my grocery store, so buying ice cream and bringing it home is sometimes a disappointment. It is usually half melted and it never really freezes back to it's original consistency. Plus, i like trying to make my own with homemade almond milk. It's so flavorful.

what I’ve done is take an ice chest with blue ice or dump the ice thing from the freezer. It will keep things frozen for the hour or so ride

I've tried bananas as a base, but not avocado...sounds interesting. Does it taste "nutty?"

Ditto here. It was 106 degrees F in town the other day. I never have enough room in the ice chest for everything. I always head straight home after shopping with the car's air conditioner on full blast.

We have a ton of blackberries going off in our garden right now, so I made blackberry gelato the other day. It was so good and very easy. Just blended up the berries, strained, added some stevia and a little sugar and put in the ice cream maker, then the freezer. It was ready by dessert time. (Stevia on it's own has an odd taste to me, so I balanced it with just a small amount of suger...1/4 cup, maybe.)

I'm going for the almond milk gelato today. I'm going to add just a pinch of guar gum and see what happens. I might try the corn starch (or arrowroot) trick too. I'll let you know how it turns out.
