Vietnamese Avocado Mousse Ice Cream (Kem Bo)

Published by

Vietnamese Avocado Mousse Ice Cream (Kem Bo) is a rich and creamy dessert which is super easy to put together. It is a popular street food snack in Danang, one of the most beautiful cities in Vietnam.

What is this Vietnamese Avocado Mousse Ice Cream (Kem Bo Danang)

I came across a Vietnamese article about trendy street foods recently. One of the items mentioned was this avocado ice cream (kem bo). It is said to be the signature item of a street food stall opened in the 1990’s in Danang. It sounds quite interesting so I recreated it based on the descriptions and photos in the article. I was surprised at how tasty this Vietnamese avocado dessert is and how well the ingredients complement each other.

At the bottom is a layer of mashed avocado. Then we top it up with a scoop of ice cream, coconut sauce, and toasted coconut flakes. There are so many layers of flavors and textures. The smoothness and richness of avocado goes well with a scoop of cold ice cream. The coconut sauce adds silkiness as well as a light coconut fragrance. Finally, the toasted coconut flakes add crunchiness and some nuttiness, making the dessert more interesting and balancing the richness.

How to Make Avocado Mousse Ice Cream (Kem Bo Danang)

Here are the ingredients you need to make this avocado ice cream: avocado, ice cream, coconut milk, sugar, cornstarch, maple syrup and coconut flakes.

I use coconut ice cream from Coconut Bliss, which is dairy-free and gluten-free. It is also my favorite ice cream choice to eat with pandan sticky rice. I’m sure other light flavor ice cream such as vanilla ice cream will work perfectly.

There are three main steps:

  • making the coconut sauce,
  • toasting the coconut flakes, and
  • processing the avocado until smooth.

Each step is super quick and easy. I also tested with slightly chunky mashed avocado, but I think the dish tastes more delicious with smooth avocado mousse. Detailed step-by-step instructions to make this avocado mousse ice cream are in the recipe card below.
