Peach Ice Cream

This past weekend we went to Yogurtland for dessert! It's one of the few places that has gluten free, dairy free ice cream! Audrey was IN HEAVEN! And even though she IS gluten and dairy free she knows exactly what ice cream is. Why? Because we make our own at home! It's INCREDIBLY easy (and so much cheaper than buying!) but you do need an ice cream maker. Costco had one on sale the other day for $17! We bought ours for around $20. It has already paid for itself!

If you have not tried coconut ice cream before, it's amazing. The coconut milk makes it SO creamy and so the end result is a consistency very similar to a dairy-base ice cream. This recipe is very easy to throw together and then it only took about 20 minutes in the ice cream maker!  

Peach Ice Cream

We ate ours with my Gluten Free Almond Cake

(Gluten Free, Dairy Free) 
Created by jalene and her mom alene
Serves about 4-5 people

Ingredients: 

• 1 can coconut milk, chilled in the fridge for at least 4 hours
• 1 peach
• 3 Tbsp sugar or organic evaporated cane juice sugar
• 2 & 1/2 tsp gluten free vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Wash and peel your peach. Dice into small pieces. In a bowl, combine the peach with the sugar and vanilla. Let sit for at least a couple of minutes so the sugar can start to dissolve. 
2. Remove the coconut from the fridge, open can, and combine with the peach mixture. Immediately pour into the ice cream machine and press the start button. The ice cream is ready when it no longer turns with the paddle. Ours took about 20 minutes. You can eat it right away or place it in the freezer to continue hardening. 

If there's any leftovers, store in the freezer in an airtight container.

Tips from jalene

• You can increase the sugar if it is not sweet enough for you. The sweetness of your peach will also affect it. 
• You can replace the sugar with 100% pure maple syrup to be naturally sweetened. 
• If you're not too fond of peaches, you can easily sub it with another fruit!
