No ice cream maker? No problem! This recipe is beginner-friendly and fully customizable for flavors and dietary needs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 (15 oz) cans full-fat coconut milk, chilled overnight
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar-free sweetener (e.g., Stevia, erythritol)
  • 2 teaspoons vodka (optional, for smoother texture)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for flavor)

Instructions

  1. Chill Your Equipment: Place a loaf pan in the freezer to chill while prepping the mixture.
  2. Whip Coconut Cream: Scoop the solid cream from the chilled coconut milk into a mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer, beat until smooth and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
  3. Whip Heavy Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream with the sweetener until soft peaks form (3–4 minutes). Add vodka and vanilla extract if using, and mix until combined.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped coconut cream into the heavy cream mixture using a spatula. Mix slowly to maintain the airy texture.
  5. Freeze: Transfer the mixture to the chilled loaf pan, smooth the top, and cover tightly with plastic wrap or foil. Freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm.
  6. Serve: Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes to soften slightly for easy scooping.

Notes

Serving Suggestions:

  • Scoop into bowls or cones and top with fresh berries, chopped nuts, or sugar-free chocolate syrup for an extra treat.

Tips & Tricks:

  • Chilling the coconut milk overnight ensures proper separation of cream and liquid. Use only the solid cream for best results.
  • Vodka is optional but helps maintain a scoopable texture by reducing ice crystals.

Storage & Reheating:

  • Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week. To prevent freezer burn, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface before sealing. If too firm after freezing, let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving.
