Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ice Cream Base
  • 3.5 cups coconut milk Rich and creamy base for the ice cream
  • 2/3 cup sweetener Use preferred sweetener like maple syrup, agave, or erythritol
  • 0.5 cup lime juice Freshly squeezed from about three limes
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon sea salt Adjust according to your preference

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Ensure the coconut milk is at room temperature before starting.
  2. Place your storage container in the freezer to chill while preparing the mixture.
Blending
  1. In a blender, combine coconut milk, sweetener, lime juice, and sea salt.
  2. Puree the mixture until completely smooth, about 25 seconds.
Churning
  1. Start your ice cream maker and pour in the blended mixture.
  2. Churn for around 25 minutes, or until the mixture expands and reaches a frozen consistency.
Serving
  1. Enjoy fresh soft-serve immediately or pour into the chilled storage container for later.

Notes

For extra lime flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of lime zest. If the ice cream is not firm enough after churning, place it in the freezer for an additional hour. Top with shredded coconut, fresh fruit, or nuts for added texture.
