Coconut Ice Cream

I luv anything coconut. My mom recently moved in with me and mentioned that she was craving coconut ice cream. BUT she has dairy intolerance. Just like Brek, she doesn't know how much dairy she can tolerant. So I decided to make her some coconut ice cream with as little amount of dairy as possible.

This is a super easy coconut ice cream recipe. There is no needed to use an ice cream maker if making a day ahead.

Adding coconut meat is optional. I don't add them into my coconut ice cream because I prefer smooth texture ice cream. My kids were creative and sprinkled their coconut ice cream with chocolate chips. The possibilities of toppings are endless.
