INGREDIENTS
2 ripe avocados
4 tablespoons mint leaves (save 2 tablespoons to garnish)
2 limes, (rind finely grated and ¼ cup juiced)

METHOD
Place the mint leaves into a small bowl and cover with boiling water. Leave for around 2 minutes, drain the water and then add icy cold water and some ice cubes.
Cut the avocados in half using the stone as a guide. Remove the stone and scoop out the flesh into a food processor. Add the condensed milk, lime rind, juice, and mint leaves. Process until silky smooth.
Add the yoghurt and continue to process.
Transfer the mixture into an airtight container. Cover and freeze. Take it out of the freezer every half hour and give it a stir until it is almost frozen.
Take it out of the freezer and scoop the contents into the processor again. Process until smooth. Return the mixture to the container, cover, and freeze overnight or until firm.
Garnish with extra mint leaves.
