Coconut Milk Chocolate Ice Cream is made with full-fat coconut milk, the one that comes in a can. The best of all worlds – easy, chocolaty sweet and cold.
It’s summertime and the livin’ is easy. Well, maybe. It’s true, we’re all still working but our clothes are lighter in weight and there is a whole lot less of them.
Meals seem much more casual with fruit salads and tacos. There is a lot more al fresco dining and last but not least – there is ice cream.
This recipe is a little different in that it is Coconut Milk Chocolate Ice Cream and the part that is not different is that it is amazingly delicious.
Last year I bought an ice cream maker way too late in the season. I only got two ice cream recipes going. Not this year!
First comes chocolate! It’s easy to dress up too. You can add so many ingredients to mix it up. Just stir in a little chocolate chips, crushed oreo cookies and any kind of nuts to name a few.
Me? I want it straight up!
This Chocolate Ice Cream is made with full-fat coconut cream, the one that comes in a can, and is dairy-free and gluten-fee. The best of all worlds – easy, chocolaty, sweet and cold.

There are a few more coconut cream ice creams on the blog and one is Biscoff Ice Cream. If you culd just imagine. Another is Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Ice Cream. Whoa!
Just got my ice-cream maker and had to try your recipe and Oh my gosh this is so good, I could eat the whole thing!
For my machine I had to run it for 25 minutes.
The chocolate sauce is divine
Thank you
Coconut milk makes a perfect ice-cream, so creamy and delicious. Will try this out!
looks fabulous, I love ice cream made with coconut milk… confession, I love ice cream made with anything. Just call it ice cream and I am on my way over.
Oh, that’s cool Anita! You are all very smart! 🙂
This looks and sounds amazing!
EEE! I love how simple this recipe is! Sounds absolutely delish!
We Indonesians eat pandan coconut ice cream all the time, so I can imagine how good this one with chocolate must be 🙂
Thank you so much! I really enjoyed your post too and thanks a lot! 🙂
Love love it. Coconut milk is always in my fridge.Now I just need an ice cream maker…
I put this recipe in our blog post “Celebrating National Milk Chocolate Day”: http://goo.gl/5AeXFl
Me too Nutmeg Nanny and I agree!
I am sorry but I really don’t think you can make it without an ice cream maker. They have old fashioned ones too where you add rock salt and then hand crank. You have to have something like that for it to get cold and harden. Watch on these food blogs because there are giveaways a few times a year in the summertime. Here is a link I found where you can enter until the end of June. It’s a beautiful Cuisinart. http://www.sugardishme.com/2014/06/18/healthy-creamy-summer-pasta-salad/

Coconut milk is my favorite! It makes everything taste better, even ice cream!
Yum, this sounds and looks delicious. Unfortunately I don’t have an ice cream maker. How would I make this without one please?

I love ice cream, this one is sheer perfection.

Thanks so much Angela! I am glad you are lovin’ it!
I was wondering if honey could be substituted for the maple syrup? I am vegan but not against honey. Maple is not a flavor I enjoy. Thanks. 🙂
I am glad you are back! Yes, please make this recipe because you will really like it! 🙂

What’s better than dairy-free gluten-free and hassle-free ice cream? The fact that it’s chocolate and coconut! So creamy – I love this!
I will make this ice cream. I have missed your posts
My youngest is gluten-free. This looks so simple I’ll have to bookmark it and try making it for him.
YES! I’m so glad to finally see a vegan chocolate ice cream! (fyi: I would love to be vegan) This recipe looks like it would taste wonderful!
