    Coconut Ice Milk: Cool Light & Creamy Vegan Dessert with Just 4 Ingredients

    By Alisa Fleming on August 12, 2018 Dairy Free Desserts, Dairy-Free Recipes

    This dairy-free coconut ice milk recipe was originally shared with us by reader Yusra Bintul-Mustafa in 2014. It was a dessert entry in one of our recipes contests. The contest is long over, but I thought this simple creamy treat deserved to be recognized again. So I’ve updated the post and added some new tips!

    Alisa’s Notes: Dairy-Free Coconut Ice Milk

    Eat Dairy Free - Your Essential Cookbook for Everyday Meals, Snacks, and SweetsFor creamier dairy-free coconut ice milk that is still quite light, you can substitute lite coconut milk for all or part of the milk beverage. A can of lite coconut milk contains about 1 3/4 cups. This will also yield a more coconutty flavor.

    If you need a corn-free option, you can substitute another starch for the cornstarch. Arrowroot starch or tapioca starch will likely yield the best results.

    If you’re not in a coconut mood, then try my Chocolate Chip Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe.

    Author: Yusra Bintul-Mustafa
    Serves: about 1 quart
    Ingredients
    • 3¾ cups + ¼ cup original or vanilla coconut milk beverage, divided
    • ¾ cup sugar
    • Pinch salt
    • 2½ tablespoons non-GMO cornstarch
    • Unsweetened toasted shredded or flaked coconut, for garnish (optional)
    Instructions
    1. Whisk together the 3¾ cups milk beverage, sugar, and salt in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Place the pan over medium heat, and bring the mixture to a simmer.
    2. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining ¼ cup milk beverage and cornstarch until smooth. Whisk the cornstarch slurry into the mixture in your saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.
    3. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature. Once completely cool, cover and refrigerate for at least 3 to 4 hours, or up to 24 hours.
    4. Freeze the mixture in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Pack the coconut ice milk into a freezer-safe container and freeze for 3 to 4 hours for hard-packed.
    5. Remove the container from the freezer and let the ice milk soften for 15 minutes, or as needed to scoop. Serve topped with a sprinkle of toasted coconut, if desired.

        It will turn out better with an ice cream maker. But here are four ways you can make ice cream without an ice cream maker -> https://www.godairyfree.org/news/dairy-free-ice-cream-without-ice-cream-maker
