I know, Labor Day weekend is almost here and I still have ice cream on my brain.  I don’t know about you, but I enjoy all types of frozen treats all year round.  And this one is dairy-free, sugar-free and vegan so why not indulge?  Sure, life is all about moderation, but if we can make a dessert healthier, I am all for it!

I’ve made this recipe a few times and it definitely freezes better if the coconut cream is cold rather than room temperature.   Also, it’s important to use a full fat coconut cream as opposed to a lighter version.  It helps with the texture and tastes better.  Also, it may seem annoying but stirring this every 30 minutes will make a creamier dessert and less ice crystals.  Because this is made without any milk or eggs (which technically doesn’t make it ice cream) it have a slightly different texture than ordinary ice cream, but it still tastes amazing.  And with only 5 ingredients, this is so simple to make!

    • Hi Pauline! I would use 1-2 tablespoons of honey, 100% maple syrup or another unrefined sugar. It depends how sweet you want it. Let me know how you like it!

  17. Looks delicious!! Can’t wait to try it — do you think it’d be possible to do with almond milk? Or is there anything I could use in place of coconut cream?

    • Hi Lisa! I am not sure if almond milk would be thick enough to replace the coconut cream? But if you try it please come back and let me know!
