Author: Gemma Stafford Servings: 2 pints Ingredients 1 can (13.5 oz) full fat coconut milk⅔ cups sugar2 cans (13.5 oz each) full fat coconut milk2 tsp vanilla extract (optional) Instructions Chill 2 cans of coconut milk in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, preferrably overnightEmpty the contents of other 1 cans of coconut milk into a saucepan.

This ice cream base is AMAZING. I made it and it was just perfect! I was so excited when I saw it coming together and when I tasted the final product. I made cookie and cream, straw-raspberry, chocolate and vanilla, those were all the base I could find at the time. Every one in my house loved them! Thank you sooo much Gemma. Chris 4 days ago Hi Gemma! Would you recommend using an ice cream machine to ensure it doesn’t freeze so hard? Mrinalini Nayar 2 months ago Can you please give me measurements in grams or cups? Sana 2 months ago Hey Gemma! Can I use coconut cream directly here. If yes, How much quantity should I use? Thanks Rosa R 3 months ago Hi Gemma, this recipe looks fantastic. I have two questions, first can I use canned coconut condensed milk and my second question is where can I find the recipe for the raspberry swirl ice cream you made on u-tube? Thanks for all the great recipes on your website. Malak Alshaar 6 months ago Hello! As of recently, I started becoming allergic to nuts, dairy and eggs. Of course this was such a huge change to adjust to because I’ve never dealt with this issue. Anyhow, among the many foods I’ve had to give up was ice cream. Dairy free store bought ice cream is so expensive where I live and most always contains some sort of nut or soy which I cannot consume.

And then, since the coconut milk is lower in fat, I will use xanthan gum to make the ice-cream creamier and smoother as what a high fat coconut milk will do to the ice-cream. Is this possible?? Thank you, Gemma! Ryon James 9 months ago Hi, Has anyone tried rum and raisin? Sheren Chinthia 9 months ago Hi Gemma, Aside from being vegan & dairy-free, is this recipe low-fat, low-calorie and low-sugar as well? I’m going to substitute the white sugar with coconut sugar. Sheren Chinthia 9 months ago Hi, Gemma! Aside from the recipe being vegan and dairy-free, is this also low sugar and low calorie? If it is, could you state the calorie count (you can give estimation) and also how low of sugar comparing to normal ice-cream?
