Our coconut ice cream recipe is tropical, creamy, delicious and completely vegan. That\u2019s right, no dairy or eggs are needed here. Instead, we use coconut milk and coconut cream, which have a high enough fat content to replicate the smooth, rich texture of a traditional vanilla ice cream<\/a> recipe and impart that ultra-sweet, tropical coconut flavor.<\/p>\n We garnish it simply with toasted shredded coconut flakes, but you can use almost any of your favorite ice cream toppings<\/a>. Plus, we\u2019ve included some tips and tricks on how to add other flavors like chocolate, mango and even matcha.<\/p>\n In a bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, unsweetened coconut cream, sugar, vanilla and salt until well blended.<\/p>\n Fill the cylinder of the ice cream maker no more than two-thirds full. Freeze the mixture according to the manufacturer\u2019s directions.<\/p>\n If you enjoy a \u201csoft serve\u201d texture, you can serve the coconut ice cream immediately. Or, transfer the ice cream to freezer containers, allowing headspace for expansion. Freeze until firm, two to four hours.<\/p>\n If desired, garnish with toasted coconut before serving.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> Other excellent toppings for this ice cream include: banana, mango, tropical fruit salad<\/a>, hot fudge<\/a>, salted caramel sauce<\/a> or any kind of toasted nuts.<\/p>\n Store the ice cream in well-sealed, freezer-safe containers. If your containers have dependably tight lids, try flipping them upside down to avoid freezer burn.<\/p>\n Coconut ice cream can last in the freezer for up to two months. I like to store my ice cream (whether homemade or store-bought) towards the front of the freezer where it\u2019s a bit warmer so it\u2019s easier to scoop.<\/p>\n This coconut milk ice cream recipe is dairy-free and vegan. The coconut milk and coconut cream give the ice cream a rich mouthfeel without eggs or dairy products.<\/p>\n Yes, there are a few different ways to make ice cream if you don\u2019t have an ice cream maker. This method is probably the easiest: Put your ice cream in a freezer-safe container, and freeze for 45 minutes. Take it out and stir the mixture vigorously. You can use a wooden spoon or spatula, but a hand mixer will give you fluffier results. Return the container to the freezer. Stir every 30 minutes until the mixture is frozen. This may take up to three hours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This creamy coconut ice cream recipe is an almost effortless tropical treat,\u00c4\u00eeand it’s naturally
