Coconut Ice Cream is about $5 for a pint. Since this is the only ice cream I have found that has not made me sick, it can get quite expensive. I found this recipe earlier, but the chocolate was too overwhelming for my taste. I kept searching though for a chocolate ice cream that would work and I found it! The base has 3 ingredients. I bought coconut milk and put it in the fridge to keep cold. Did you know it will solidify in the fridge? I didn't until I went to use it today. It all worked out though.
Recipe makes a little over 2 cups of ice cream:
1 can coconut milk (lite coconut milk may not contain enough fat to create the ice cream texture)
2 Tablespoons cocoa powder
1/3 c agave or sugar
Mix in a blender until smooth. Prepare in your ice cream maker according to the manufacture instructions. I let mine mix for 15 minutes and then added:
1 handful of chopped pecans
1 handful of coconut
Let mix for additional 5 minutes. I then put the ice cream into 1 cup containers and freeze until ready to eat!
Total cost - $1.50! (Plus...it is REALLY YUMMY!!!)
