Vanilla Coconut Ice Cream

1/7/2013

Last week I introduced you to my Chocolate Coconut Ice Cream but I realize that not all of you are chocolate lovers out there. Take for example my own nephew. He actually HATES chocolate! Is that weird? Willfully hating chocolate... Seems strange to me! ha ha.

If you haven't heard it before coconut milk makes THE BEST ice cream. It's so creamy and smooth. It seriously hits the spot when you can't have the real thing. This next recipe is so simple and you can choose what type of sweetener you prefer. We served ours with my Gluten Free Apple Crisp! It was so yummy my dad had to have 2nds! :)

Don't forget, our Free Gluten Free Class is tomorrow (Tuesday night: Jan. 8th). To RSVP please visit HERE.

Vanilla Coconut Ice Cream

(Gluten Free, Dairy Free)
Created by jalene

Ingredients:

1/4 cup sugar or evaporated cane juice sugar or you can use 2 & 1/2 Tbsp honey instead
1 can coconut milk (not lite)
1 & 1/2 tsp gluten free vanilla

Directions:

Put all the ingredients into a blender and combine for 30 seconds, scraping sides if unnecessary.
Pour into your prepared ice cream maker and process for at least 30 minutes. The ice cream will harden more as you freeze it.

Hi Jalene,
I am a friend of Karalee! I met you at her baby shower. I am loving my search through all of these gluten free recipes. You have done so much work, thank you! I decided to comment on this recipe, because how could I not get completely excited about an ice cream recipe that has no gluten, no dairy...and has the option of using honey as my natural sweetener! I'll be using this site a lot!

Thanks,
lisa

Hi Jalene-
I was just curious if there was a way to make this without using an ice cream machine? Also....thanks so much for this site. I have been gluten free for a while now and this site has changed my life in terms of what I can eat.....I feel like I can really enjoy eating now! :)
Thanks again

Hey Jenessa! Yes there is! In the past I have taken all the ingredients after they were frozen and put about 1/3 of the mixture in the fridge and the other 2/3 into ice cube trays and frozen it. Then, once the ice cubes are solid, I combine the mixture back together in my Blendtec (it has an ice cream mode but I'm sure you could blend it like a smoothie if you don't have one). That will get the ice cream pretty thick- simply freeze the mixture longer if you want it thicker. Hope that helps!
