ingredients

This ice cream is super simple to make with just 4 ingredients. The creaminess comes from full fat coconut milk and maple syrup sweetens it just right. The result is a completely delectable desert rich in healthy fats, lower in sugar than typical dairy ice cream, and full of amazing flavor.

Vegan Coconut Lime Ice Cream
  • full fat coconut milk
  • freshly squeezed lime juice 
  • maple syrup
  • lime zest

See recipe card for quantities.

Instructions

The great thing about this ice cream is you don't need an ice cream maker. Use a mixer to whip everything up and transfer to a freezer safe container for freezing. It's really that simple!

Equipment

This ice cream can be made with or without an ice cream maker. You will need a hand mixer or a stand mixer to whip the coconut cream. If you are not using an ice cream maker you will need a loaf pan or something similar to freeze the base.
