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.
