Oh boy am I ever excited!! I was able to make ice cream the other day using my Homemade Coconut Milk!! I found great recipes on The Nourishing Gourmet website except they use canned coconut milk. I’m willing to bet the texture would be even BETTER if you did use canned coconut milk, but because of the expense, I decided to try my homemade coconut milk in a recipe. The original recipe is here.
Vanilla Ice Cream (with Coconut Milk)
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups homemade coconut milk, chilled
2-4 Tbsp. honey (depending on how sweet you like it)
1 Tbsp. vanilla
Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients together with a wire whisk or hand mixer. (It helps to put some “air” into it.)
2. Pour into ice cream maker and process according to your ice cream maker’s instructions. (I did mine on “low” for 20 minutes.)
3. Eat and enjoy or freeze in a container with a lid.
*Right out of the ice cream maker the texture was great, but did melt fairly quickly. After freezing in the freezer, it hardened up quite a bit, but we were still able to scoop it out (it wasn’t as hard as a rock).
*Serve by itself, with fruit and nuts or on top of Coconut Flour Brownies or Coconut Flour Brownies with Zucchini!

I don’t think that would work very well. I have seen a recipe that if you use thinner coconut milk such as that, you could add some melted coconut oil (1-2 Tbsp) and that might help. I would try to pour it in carefully while the blender is going. It might be a lot firmer texture after being in the freezer, but you could just let it thaw more before actually eating it. Let us know if it works!
