Only Six Ingredients
This unique ice cream has several advantages: fewer ingredients, more vanilla, and more lecithin, which creates a creamier texture.
It’s easy to make: heat coconut milk with sugar and salt, scrape in vanilla seeds, add coconut oil and lecithin, blend, cool, transfer to an ice cream machine and freeze.
Take it out of the freezer just a few minutes before serving: it is soft and creamy with a delicious vanilla flavor.
A serving suggestion: scoop it on a waffle, and drizzle hot chocolate sauce.
Serve it as is or upgrade a dessert with it.
Enjoy and let me know how it turned out😋❣️

Hello,
Thank you for this great recipe.
Can Coconut milk be substituted with any other milk. My kids are not fond of coconut milk.
Thank you
Hello Mina,
I am glad you like the recipe 🙂
I haven’t tried it yet with other milk; I think it might work but it will not be as creamy. I don’t feel coconut flavor, but I might be biased because I love coconut 😉
