Avocado and ginger ice cream
"This is a winner when I make it for a friend, who says it's so irresistible it should be outlawed! It is creamy and rich with the tang of ginger. Nelson I believe has the highest consumption of ice cream in New Zealand. I don't know the origins of avocados but we certainly grow them here in Motueka."
