Coconut Milk Ice Cream with Honey and Cinnamon

This frozen treat is so delicious your friends and family won’t even know it’s a “healthy” alternative to regular ice creams. Therese and I just made this frozen treat on a cooking segment on The Circle Oct. 5^th with a Pineapple Apple Crumble. We had so much fun sharing healthy recipes and tips with the audience. We will be posting that recipe next week for all of you to try. *Miranda loves the chocolate version!

Please use certified organic ingredients whenever possible.

2 Cans coconut milk (full fat) or (1 can coconut cream and 1 can coconut milk)

½ Cup honey or agave (more or less to taste)

2 Tablespoons vanilla and/or cinnamon

In a medium large bowl whisk all the ingredients together until well combined. (Make sure the honey is fully blended with the coconut milk) Pour the mixture into an ice cream make and follow the manufactures instructions. When the ice cream is done place in a freezer proof container with a lid to set for a few hours until set. You can also eat it right away and it will be more like soft serve.

Note: You can also make this ice cream without an ice cream maker. Just mix all the ingredients together well in a glass or stainless steel bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a lid (I prefer a lid), and place in the freezer. Remove the bowl from the freezer every hour and mix with a fork and place back in the freezer. The ice cream is ready when it is as thick and creamy as you desire which usually takes a few hours.

*Note: Sometimes I also add raspberry, strawberry, or other fruit puree to the recipe and it’s great too! Just add ½ cup of fruit puree preferably with the seeds strained when you whisk the mixture and follow the rest of the directions. For other variations you can add ½ cup un-sweetened coco powder (You’ll need a little more honey to taste)…you can also add nuts, dried coconut and/or  fruit if you like.

Please leave me a comment with any questions, ideas, or requests. I am still down in Melbourne and available for Private Cooking Classes and a cuppa tea if you are around the area.

Therese and I will be speaking/cooking at The Colour Lab in Melbourne again Oct. 20 and 21 will be posting more info about the times. Hope to see all of you there we always have a great time and share delicious food and recipes.
