I pulled my sorry carcass out of bed this morning to see Alton Brown on Good Morning America. Of course his segment was near the end of the show, but it was funny and entertaining as per AB's MO; therefore, worth the wait. Plus I did have to get to work earlier today, so a win-win I suppose.
The best part was when he was trying to get the weatherman, Sam Champion, and Juju Chang to try the avocado ice cream. Perhaps Sam and Julu need my avocado intolerance. I love guc and eating avocados but they just don't like me back. And the comment on the blender. :)
Anyway, the segment if you didn't rise and shine this morning:
The recipe if you want to make some too.
Ingredients
12 ounces avocado meat, approximately 3 small to medium
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup heavy cream
Cooking Directions
Peel and pit the avocados. Add the avocados, lemon juice, milk, and sugar to a blender and puree. Transfer the mixture to a medium mixing bowl, add the heavy cream and whisk to combine. Place the mixture into the refrigerator and chill until it reaches 40 degrees or below, approximately 4 to 6 hours.
Process the mixture in an ice cream maker according to manufacturers directions. However, this mixture sets up very fast, so count on it taking only 5 to 10 minutes to process. For soft ice cream serve immediately. If desired, place in freezer for 3 to 4 hours for firmer texture.

That was hilarious. I love that scene! (I love how he says niter-gen instead of nitro-gen lol)
thanks LIsa for sharing the video I forgot to watch this morning .
It was a great segment -- and I laughed at the way the hosts seemed very afraid of the whole thing!
He was really funny, specially when he scared Robin with the liquid nitrogen. It looks really good. I'm a person who doesn't eat any avacodos, but this looked really good to me.
