It is perfect for hot summer days or any time we want a cool treat without the heavy cream. The best part is that it uses coconut milk which is healthier and still gives that creamy texture we all love. I make it for family gatherings and it always gets eaten up fast.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Creamy Coconut Milk Ice Cream

Full fat coconut milk is best because it gives the ice cream a creamy texture. Light coconut milk has more water and can make the ice cream icy.

2. Do I need an ice cream maker for this recipe?

You can make it without an ice cream maker. Just pour the mixture into a freezer safe dish and stir it every 30 minutes for the first 2 to 3 hours to break up ice crystals.

3. How long does this non dairy ice cream last in the freezer?

It keeps well for up to 2 weeks if stored in an airtight container. Let it soften for a few minutes before scooping.

4. Can I use a different sweetener?

Yes, you can use agave nectar, honey, or coconut sugar. Adjust the amount to your taste. Keep in mind that liquid sweeteners work best.

5. Is this recipe safe for people with nut allergies?

Yes, this recipe is nut free as long as you use coconut milk and do not add any nut based mix ins. Always check labels on your ingredients.
