My Homemade Vanilla Coconut Milk Ice Cream Recipe was made out of necessity.
As I have gotten older, I have found I take after my dad, who was lactose intolerant. I love ice cream, but coconut ice cream at the grocery store is very expensive and has a lot of other ingredients in it that I don’t want.
I had a Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe I have used for many years, so I replaced the half and half with coconut milk and here you have it, Homemade Vanilla Coconut Milk Ice Cream.
Ingredients for Homemade Vanilla Coconut Milk Ice Cream:
2 cups full fat coconut milk
½ cup pure coconut sugar (This gives your ice cream a caramelized flavor and a tannish color.)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Dash of sea salt
Instructions for Homemade Vanilla Coconut Milk Ice Cream:
Pour all ingredients into a quart jar, replace lid tightly, and shake until sugar is dissolved. I have the kids pass the jar around, taking turns shaking it.
Pour into a 1 quart electric ice cream freezer
This recipe is best when served immediately, or with your favorite homemade toppings. You can also put it in a chilled bowl in the freezer for later, but it won’t be as soft.

Yum! I need to try this!
HI Lanelle! These ice cream recipes look so yummy! I recently made pancakes with coconut milk and they were delicious. I’d love to try ice cream with it but I don’t own an ice cream maker
I’m curious, what kind of maker do you have? would you recommend it?
thanks
Hi Kristen,
Thanks for stopping by! I love these coconut milk ice cream recipes. They allow me to eat ice cream again. 😉
I have a “Cuisinart ICE-40 Flavor Duo Frozen Yogurt-Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker.” Fancy, huh. I like it. I have had it for a long time. I can make 1-2 kinds of ice cream at the same time. Yes, I would recommend it. I put a link to it on Amazon in my post-“electric ice cream freezer.”
