This creamy coconut ice cream recipe is an almost effortless tropical treat—and it's naturally dairy-free and vegan.
Instructions
1
Create the base
2
In a bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, unsweetened coconut cream, sugar, vanilla and salt until well blended.
3
Fill the cylinder of the ice cream maker no more than two-thirds full. Freeze the mixture according to the manufacturer’s directions.
4
Serve or store
5
If you enjoy a “soft serve” 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.
6
If desired, garnish with toasted coconut before serving. Editor’s Tip: Other excellent toppings for this ice cream include: banana, mango, tropical fruit salad, hot fudge, salted caramel sauce or any kind of toasted nuts.
