This easy coconut ice cream recipe makes the most creamy coconutty treat. If you are a coconut lover, this is for you. It is also great if you are looking for a dairy free or vegan alternative to ice cream.
After a recent email newsletter about ice cream, I got a response asking for a good coconut ice cream recipe without any little bits of coconut in it.
By the way, if you aren’t signed up to get emails, you should be! That way you will know about all of my new recipes and get reminded of some old favorites.
I love it when people hit reply and tell me about their favorite recipes or request a recipe for something specific. It is fun to hear food memories or be given a mission.
Anyway, this is how this recipe got started. I used both a can of coconut milk and coconut cream to get a dreamy, creamy texture.
I wish I had coconut extract to bump up the flavor even more. However, the vanilla was delicious as well.

This ice cream is perfect for coconut lovers. It is also great if you are looking for a vegan or dairy free alternative to homemade ice cream.
You could easily add mix-ins like toasted coconut, bits of chocolate or whatever you want to make it your own. Or cook down some blueberries like my blueberry ice cream, just use the coconut milk base instead.
Of course you can also add your favorite toppings. A drizzle of hot fudge, some blackberry sauce, or some fresh fruit would be fabulous.
I will be honest and say that I like my standard dairy ice cream base better. However, there are definitely circumstances where this would be perfect.
I hope you love it if you give it a go!
