Notes
Ingredient Notes:
- Be sure to use TWO cans of full-fat coconut milk. Do not use reduced fat/low fat coconut milk or coconut milk from cartons. These will result in icy ice cream.
- Use agave nectar to make this recipe vegan.
- I use this ice cream maker. It is more expensive than the more common ice cream machines because it does not require the pre-freezing of the ice cream mixing bowl.
