Chai coconut milk ice cream with caramel sauce!

“No. Not Dairy.”

These were the words I breathed out in fear when I found out that dairy was my main food intolerance. On the way to the doctor’s office, I had told my husband that I was hoping my food intolerance was “anything but dairy”.

The first couple years of my life consisted of lots of yogurt and dairy, and a couple crackers thrown in. The rest of my growing up years consisted of grilled cheese and tomato soup, loads of milk, ice cream, cream cheese, and still more yogurt.

I loved dairy.

But it turns out that some of my biggest gastrointestinal complaints were related to the fact that my body didn’t love dairy as much as I thought. Since then, it has been a journey of finding out how to eat lovely food without it (though, I do still enjoy occasional goat and sheep dairy products).

Enter coconut milk ice cream. I was in heaven when I tried my first coconut milk ice cream! It is so creamy and delicious; I don’t even miss the dairy for once.

You could say I’m a big fan! I have a lot of coconut milk or coconut milk optioned homemade ice cream recipes here, so I thought it would be fun to gather them all up into one place.

Enjoy!

Notes on ingredients and equipment:

    • I own a Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker and love it!
    • I’ve started using Aroy-D Coconut Cream because it has a lovely taste and no “gums” added to it.

6. Chai Coconut Milk Ice Cream: The spices used in chai are a perfect match with coconut milk, making this a delicious personal favorite.

7. Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream: This was one of the first variations I tried out when making coconut milk ice cream. If you love pumpkin pie, you will love this!

8. Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream: Because mint and chocolate belong together.

9. Vanilla Ice Cream: What’s plain about vanilla? Especially when so many toppings go perfectly with it!

Double Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream (made with unrefined sweeteners, gluten- and grain-free and almost dairy-free. It uses butter)

10. Double Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream: My eight-year-old requests this the most often, and for good reason. It does contain browned butter, though, so if you are strictly dairy-free, leave that part out.

11. Chocolate Ice Cream: Happy, happy days are a head with this simple, lightly sweetened recipe!

12. Roasted Banana Ice Cream: Bananas are delicious already, but when you roast them? Wow! It produces a wonderful, sweeter, roasted fruit and makes an ultra creamy ice cream.
