Ingredients

• 2 cans (14 ounces each) full-fat coconut milk

• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

Here's how to make it:

1. Pour the coconut milk into a bowl. Add the sugar and vanilla. Whisk until well combined.
2. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker. Process for about 25 minutes. 
3. For no-churn ice cream, pour the mixture into a loaf pan. Freeze until firm, stirring often. Let the ice cream soften a bit before serving.

Notes and serving suggestions:

• Sandwich the ice cream between cookies and roll in coconut for coconut ice cream sandwiches.
• Stir together with more coconut milk to make a creamy milkshake.
• For a more intense coconut flavor, add about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of coconut extract.
• Drizzle the inside of glasses with dairy-free caramel or dairy-free chocolate sauce. Add scoops of the coconut ice cream and sprinkle with flaked coconut.
