I scream, you scream, we all scream for ICE CREAM!
I love ice cream! Who doesn't? I use to go once a week to either Yogurtland, Golden Spoon, or if I was feeling really fancy, Cold Stone. But I don't do well with dairy, and even though it tasted sooo good going down, I regretted it immediately after. I knew there must be some way to make ice cream healthier and more primal.
I asked my mom if I could borrow her ice cream maker (still borrowing it, thanks mom!) and then perused the Internet for some basic coconut milk recipes. I can't take full credit for this recipe as it is a conglomeration of many I found.
I have to tell you, I never go out for ice cream anymore because this is soooo good! Feel free to experiment and add what you normally like in your ice cream!
Basic vanilla ice cream recipe:
Ingredients:
-1 can full fat coconut milk
-1 large egg, preferably organic and pastured
-1 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
-1/2 tsp sea salt
-1 tbsp rum or brandy (keeps ice cream from getting too hard)
-3-6 tbsp sweetener of your choice (maple syrup, agave nectar, erythritol, sugar, etc. I prefer maple syrup)
Optional add-ins:
-peanut butter
-cocoa powder
-fresh fruit
-the possibilities are endless
(Our current favorite is peanut butter chocolate with shredded coconut and nuts as toppings!)
Directions:
1. Place all ingredients in blender and blend up until smooth
2. Poor into ice cream maker and turn on for 30 minutes.
3. Enjoy a non-chemical-laden, dairy-free treat!
