Coconut Ice Cream
"Coconut milk, honey and vanilla are the perfect combination to create this smooth, refreshing ice cream. I feel honey and vanilla really enhance the natural coconut flavor. I like to use vanilla bean paste because I love to see the tiny speckles of vanilla beans throughout the ice cream, but vanilla extract would be fine as well. My kids went bonkers for this ice cream--and to be completely honest, I did too. :)"
- Ready In:

- Ingredients:
- 3
- Serves:
-
4-6
ingredients
- 2 (14 ounce) cans full fat coconut milk
- 1⁄4 cup mild honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
directions
- Into a metal bowl that has been chilled in the freezer, pour coconut milk, honey and vanilla.
- Using a hand mixer or stand mixer with whisk attachment, whisk until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Make sure your ice cream maker's freezer bowl is frozen solid (you don't want to hear even the slightest sloshing noise when shaken). Keep in the freezer until absolutely ready to pour mixture into the machine.
- Place mixture into the freezer tub of your ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer's instructions for freezing. It took only 15 minutes for my machine to churn and freeze this concoction into a beautiful, smooth ice cream.
- With a spatula, turn ice cream into a freezer storage container. Freeze for 2-4 hours or until desired texture.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>My name is Rebecca, but my family and friends call me Becky. I am 33 years old and live in Rochester, New York, USA. I am a life-long resident of Western New York and can't say as I'd ever want to live anywhere else. I grew up on a small dairy farm in rural Western New York and love country living. Although my husband and I live in a suburb right now, we hope someday to move back to our roots and live a peaceful country life. <br /><br />My husband and I have been married for 10 years. We have a beautiful 5-year-old daughter and a 3-year-old son. I am amazed at how quickly our kids are growing and developing. I read a lot about and hold my own personal skepticism regarding the affects of additives such as preservatives, hormones, artificial colorings, artificial sweeteners, caffeine, allergens, etc. With the increasing number of children and adults with food allergies, I am suspicious that the last century of our nation's food industry improvements have contributed. I'm doing the best I can to protect my family from the risks, but it is difficult to avoid every additive. I have friends and family with food allergies and know how difficult it is to cope with food restrictions. I enjoy the challenge of cooking for those with food allergies but can't imagine making it an every-day affair.</p>
