Place slices between a few pieces of papertowels to draw out some of the moisture. Transfer to a baking tray lined with foil/sprayed or parchment paper.

AVOCADO ICE CREAM 2 avocados 1 lime, juiced 1 15 oz can coconut cream ¼ cup maple syrup (to taste) Process your avocados until silky smooth in a blender or food processor.
