Vegan Coffee Ice Cream

Delicious vegan ice cream using coconut milk. Altered from a recipe on http://veganicecream.blogspot.com/ A bit of a time commitment if you don't have an ice cream maker (like me) but so much cheaper than store bought vegan ice cream!

• Ready In: 3 hrs 15 mins
• Serves: 8
• Yields: 1/2 gallon

Ingredients

• 2 (15 ounce) cans coconut milk
• 1  cup  strong coffee
• 3⁄4 cup sugar
• 1  teaspoon vanilla
• 1⁄2 cup bittersweet chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

1. Mix the coconut milk, coffee, sugar and vanilla in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer for a few minutes and then let cool.
2. If you have an ice cream machine, follow your models instructions. If not, put in metal or glass bowl and put in freezer. Every 45 minutes or so, take and mix with a hand mixer. Process will take about 3 hours, mix in chocolate chips (I chopped mine up) in last hour.
3. Enjoy!
