Why is this dairy-free ice cream just as creamy as dairy ice cream?

Coconut milk! Full fat coconut milk, to be precise.

In addition to the creaminess, coconut also lends this ice cream a great coconut flavor. If you prefer, substitute other non-dairy milks for the coconut milk, but know that the resulting ice cream with be less creamy, more icy, and harder once frozen.

Tweak the amount of cocoa powder to suit your taste! The more cocoa, the darker the ice cream will be.

  5. Pour in add-ins during the last few minutes of churning.

    Ooh, those two recipes look good. I’m wishing I hadn’t given away my little ice cream maker!

    I’m sorry you did that. Is there any chance of getting it back? 😀 -Wardee
