Coconut Ice Cream

Here is a link to a fabulous ice cream recipe. We made it just by putting it in a bowl in the freezer and stirring intermittently. We just got an ice cream maker (brand new from a thrift store for $5!!) so we will try that tomorrow. After 10 months of no ice cream of any kind, it was heavenly. Even Dave, who has had ice cream in recent times, said it was really good. Time to experiment. I will report back.

I've been trying to make some coconut ice cream for weeks! But haven't been able to find the coconut milk anywhere! This blog suggested an Asian market - maybe I'll be able to find some there!

Yes, try an Asian market.

Or try the "ethnic" section of your grocery store - near the asian food.

OR, you could make your own with a real coconut. Drain the water and set aside (you may have to strain it). Remove the hull from the meat. Blend the meat with the water = coconut milk.

My daughter is allergic to a variety of things, the most serious being rice and some dairy. I am so glad to have stumbled onto your blog for ideas for things to cook. Thanks!

Cool blog! Eggplant chips - who'da thunk? I think I'll try that, right after the coconut milk ice cream. That's what I was looking for when I stumbled here. Your families' issues make cooking for my DH seem very easy!
