I'm in love with my ice cream churner.
What can be more tastier than home-made ice cream. Nothing at all. Smooth creamy ice cream, that's the one. Lime green avocado colored ice cream with the addition of lemon & lime, Why so delicious? & not to forget the chocolate pots. A match made in heaven. I always have to be extra, chocolate dipped strawberries, Why not? At least i'm having One a day *laughs*

100g Pure dark chocolate chopped up
100g Pure dark chocolate chopped up
35g softened butter
Ingredients for the chocolate dipped strawberries

Method for Avocado ice cream
In a saucepan add the milk and the cream and let it boil gently. Whilst your waiting for it to boil, put the egg yolks and sugar into a bowl and whisk. Once the milk and cream has come to a boil, add half the mixture to the eggs and whisk it making sure you combine everything, once you have done that pour it all back into saucepan with the rest of the milk mixture.
On low heat, carry on cooking this making sure you stir it continuously, once the mixture starts coating the back of the spoon, take the saucepan of the heat straight away. You don's want to over or it may curdle.
Using a hand blender, blitz the avocado, lemon and lime juices until its nice and creamy. Add this to the custard and whisk it once more making sure the avocado has mixed in well with the custard. Add the lemon and lime zest & stir using a wooden spoon.
Sieve the custard making sure you discard any lumps. Once the mixture has cooled down churn it in the ice cream machine.
Once it's churned put it in a container and freeze for 3 hours making sure you stir it every now & then. Take the ice cream out the freezer 10 minutes before serving just to soften a little.

The color is just lush! Oh but the taste is even better.
Method for the chocolate ganache
In a pan add the cream and honey and let it boil, pour this over the chopped up chocolate bit by bit making sure to stir it in properly each time. Once you have combined the cream and the chocolate let it sit for about 5 minutes. Beat in the butter until well combined. Scoop the ganache into separate ramekins & place it in the fridge allowing it to set for 5 hours. Serve with the ice cream. What a combination *drools*
Method for the chocolate dipped strawberries
This is so simple, i'm sure you already knew that. Dip the strawberry into the melted dark chocolate & let it set in the fridge. That's about it really. Simple init.
Serve the ganache with the avocado ice cream & top it off with your chocolate dipped strawberries.
Bon Appetite!
