Easy Homemade Ice Cream Only Requires 3 Ingredients And Starts With Canned Coconut Milk - Tasting Table

"Making your own ice cream may seem like a daunting task, but it's much easier than you'd imagine. Considering the many three-ingredient recipes for when you're low on groceries, this creamy and dreamy dessert comes together with just a few pantry staples that you likely already have on hand. All it takes is your favorite brand of canned coconut milk, vanilla extract, and the sweetener of your choice."

"Though it isn't technically ice cream by definition, this frozen treat is the perfect answer to traditional ice cream for those who don't consume dairy products. In fact, coconut milk is considered the absolute best non-dairy substitute for rich homemade ice cream. To prepare this dessert, start with canned coconut milk and mix it with a sweetener like sugar, honey, agave nectar, or your preferred ingredient. Add in a dash of vanilla extract and mix thoroughly before adding the mixture to the ice cream maker."

"This unexpected use for a can of coconut milk is a great way to help clean out your pantry. Additionally, it doesn't require the use of an ice cream machine. While there will be some variance in consistency between whisking or blending the ice cream by hand versus a machine, there's no doubt the dessert will be delicious and endlessly customizable."

Homemade creamy frozen dessert can be made with three basic ingredients: canned coconut milk, a sweetener, and vanilla extract. Canned coconut milk provides a rich, custard-like texture that closely mimics traditional dairy ice cream. Sweetener choice can be sugar, honey, agave, or preferred alternatives, with ratios adjustable for desired sweetness or dietary needs. Preparation options include churning in an ice cream maker or placing the mixture in a freezer-safe bowl and alternating freezing with hand whisking or immersion blending every half hour until set. No ice cream machine is required, though machine churning produces a smoother consistency. The recipe is pantry-friendly and highly customizable.
