Having an ice cream maker is great, because I can make a fresh additive-free, processed sugar-free, dairy-free ice cream anytime! It was a hot day and I wanted a cool treat, so I whipped up this recipe in about 15 minutes!
If you don’t have an ice cream maker, but like to have ice cream you can easily find an inexpensive one online. They range from about $25-$100 dollars and are fun to have around. You can get a pretty inexpensive one like this for about $25 or you can get a really fancy one like this for about $85.
Maple Coconut Dairy-free Ice Cream:
1.5 cups coconut milk (where to buy BPA-free coconut milk)
3-5 tbsp maple syrup (depending on how sweet you want it)
1/4 tsp salt
1. Combine coconut milk, maple syrup and salt and mix well.
2. Put in your ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturers directions.
If you don’t have an ice cream maker, but would like to make homemade ice cream, consider getting one! Like I said before, you can get a buy a lower cost one like this for about $25 or you can get a more high end ice cream maker like this for about $85. I bought a lower end one a few years ago for about $25 and it’s nice to have around on hot days when you want a cool treat. Mine’s not an amazing fancy ice cream maker because I don’t use it all the time, but it gets the job done and is nice to have around. I can make frozen yogurt, dairy-free ice cream and raw milk ice cream without additives and processed sugar!

June 21, 2013 at 9:37 amI just want to second the idea of getting an ice-cream maker. I finally got one this year for Mother’s Day, and I don’t know why we waited so long! You save money in the long-run (well, in the short-run if you eat a lot of ice-cream, lol), and you have control over ingredients. Even the healthiest brands cannot be as healthy as you make it yourself, whether you eat dairy or not. We make ice-cream with the coconut milk and it is far yummier than any of the commercial coconut ice-creams (as good as they are). Get one!!

April 21, 2018 at 7:39 amI have a Cuisinart 1 1/2 qt ice cream maker. Just need to check how much this recipe makes, as the ice cream maker instructions say not to go over the 1 1/2 qt yield. Thank u!
