IMPERIAL
METRIC
Ingredients
- 1 cup (8 oz) coconut milk (from a can, like this)
- 1 cup (8 oz) almond milk, unsweetened
- 1 vanilla bean or 2 tbsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (or few drops liquid stevia)
Method
- Pour the coconut and almond milk into a large bowl. If using the vanilla bean, cut in half then scrape out the seeds and add to the mixture. Alternatively, pour in the vanilla extract. Add the vanilla honey then mix thoroughly.
- Pour the vanilla mixture into your prepared ice cream machine and then follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
To Serve
- Once the ice cream is set, you can serve it immediately (for a soft serve style ice cream) or place in the freezer to harden up (if you prefer a more solid ice cream texture). This ice cream is best eaten at the time of making, as ice crystals can form once completely frozen, and it will lose its creamy texture.

Is there an alternative to almond milk (and I can’t tolerate oat milk)? Could I just do 16oz of coconut milk for this recipe?
I just made it last night with 10 oz of coconut milk and 6 oz of homemade macadamia nut milk (recipe here: https://minimalistbaker.com/macadamia-milk-recipe/ I made mine in a Vitamix with just nuts, salt, and water and it turned out fantastic!). The ice cream satisfied the itch for *something! anything!*.
However, it was far too coconutty for my taste, so next time I’m going to switch the ratio and do 10 oz macadamia and 6 oz of coconut. Also, if you haven’t made it yet, I would recommend increasing the amount of honey. 2 tablespoons didn’t result in much sweetness at all, so I’m going to double it to 1/4 cup.
What ice cream machines do you recommend using?
Hi Melissa
I use the Cuisineart icecream maker. But any icecream maker should work for this.
