Basic Vanilla Coconut Ice Cream (Vegan, Soy-Free, Gluten-Free)

This fantastic ice cream recipe was adapted from How Cooking Works by blogger "Needleroozer"

Yield: 1.5 quarts

Ingredients:

4 cups coconut milk (full fat)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
pinch of salt
1 TBSP vanilla extract
1/2 vanilla bean, slit lengthwise, and scraped* (optional)

Directions:

Stir the coconut milk and sugar together until the sugar is dissolved. Add the salt and vanilla and freeze in an electric or hand operated ice cream freezer.

*throw all of your scraped beans into a jar, and fill it with sugar. Vanilla sugar is wonderful to bake/cook with.

Variations:

For more of a coconut flavor, lessen the vanilla or leave out the bean, and add some coconut.
For orange sherbet, instead of vanilla, add 1 TBSP of orangel oil, and some orange zest. If you make a batch of this, and a batch of vanilla, you have the makings for a Creamsickle! THe kids love this combo.
You could also use lemon oil and zest, throw in berries, etc.
