Vanilla Ice Cream (Dairy Free/ Refined Sugar Free/ Paleo/ Vegan Option/ Gluten Free)

With summer slowly coming, so does the desire for cool summer treats such as ice cream! As with myStrawberry Ice Cream, this is a creamy snack that I figured out how to make soon after my food allergies were realized. I have always enjoyed making ice cream cakes, especially my Black Forest Ice Cream Cake. Making dairy free ice cream was inevitable!

Coconut Milk Vanilla Ice Cream

Delicious!!

2-400 ml. cans coconut milk (Place your milk in the fridge overnight)

3/4 c. honey ( maple syrup for vegan)

2 tsp. vanilla

4 egg yolks (omit for vegan- I frequently make this recipe without eggs)

pinch of sea salt

Puree all ingredients in food processor. Then blend mixture in frozen ice cream maker ** for twenty minutes. Will be consistency of soft ice cream.  For convenience, I put into small individual containers and freeze. When you want to eat the ice cream, take a container out of the freezer for 10-15 minutes to soften. Why not top your ice cream with Whipped Coconut Cream ! If you love ice cream, why not try my Strawberry Ice Cream Cake!

**If you don’t have an ice cream maker put bowl of mixture into the freezer and stir every thirty minutes for a few hours.

  1. I love coconut ice cream, and I can’t wait to try this recipe! My son and I love to stockpile the leftover creams at the bottom of our gluten-free Chex cereal bags and use them for ice cream toppings. I highly recommend it!

    1. I really enjoy it as well! I will try it with Chex 🙂 You should try out my strawberry ice cream as well!

  2. I need an ice cream maker! Thanks for linking up at our Gluten Free Fridays party! I have tweeted and pinned your entry to our Gluten Free Fridays board on Pinterest! 🙂

    Hope you enjoyed the last two week’s of giveaways!

    1. You don’t need an ice cream maker to make it. Half the time I don’t even use mine. I added instructions how to make ice cream without an ice cream maker 🙂

  3. I must must MUST hop on the coconut train and try this or something like it very soon! Looks great, thanks for sharing @ HappyWifey.net.

    1. For me it is out of necessity, but I have to say its a great alternative to regular ice cream 🙂

  4. Mmmmm this ice cream sounds delicious! 🙂 Thank you so much for linking up with me this week at Tasty Tuesdays! I’ve pinned this & shared it with my followers! Please be sure to stop back by the party and check out some of the other links!

  5. Made this tonight and it was AMAZING!! We added some fresh cherries…YUM! Thanks!

  6. Can you use cream of coconut in a can or a carton of vanilla coconut milK?

    1. I make it with coconut milk in a can. Usually one higher fat(12-17%) and one lower(5-7%). I didn’t make it from a carton once, but with the low fat count it tasted like diet ice cream.

  7. Dear Sandi, Your ice cream sounds absolutely delicious. What a stunner…I know will I have to try this soon! Thank you for sharing. Found you through Foodie Friends, blessings, Catherine

  9. What if you don’t refrigerate the coconut milk overnight…I want to make this tonight!!! lol!

    1. Sorry you will have to be patient. 🙂 I have tried that, even putting the can in the freezer for a few hours. Never seems to work out right. Doesn’t freeze properly.

  10. I know this post is older, but I just saw this on Pinterest. My son was recently tested for allergies. Positive for diary, peanuts, egg whites, soy and wheat. Yikes! I’m switching the whole family to more allergy-friendly food to make my life easier. I think i’m going to make this tomorrow! Thanks so much.

      1. I am just going dairy free and relearning my shopping and cooking. Please pardon my learning curve. The recipe posted does not separate the coconut milk. I am curious about the uncooked eggs also. I am used to making traditional ice cream in which the eggs are cooked. Is this recipe mis-posted?

        1. No it’s not a mis-post. I don’t separate the coconut milk and I add in raw eggs. You can easily leave the eggs out. I don’t add them in anymore.
