Recipes Tips
If you want to add some extra flavor to this lactose free ice cream, you can mix in some chopped fruits, nuts, or chocolate chips before freezing. You can also experiment with different extracts like almond or peppermint to create new flavors.
Make sure to use full fat coconut milk for the best results. Light or reduced fat coconut milk may not have enough fat content to create a creamy texture.
If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make this recipe by pouring the mixture into a container and freezing it for about an hour. Then, take it out of the freezer and stir it well to break up any ice crystals. Repeat this process every hour for about 4-5 hours until the desired texture is achieved.
