Nothing is better than ice cream

I love ice cream. I mean who doesn't love ice cream? My lactose intolerant husband also has a deep love of ice cream. I have made vegan ice creams with soaked cashews as the base. Ok, that wasn't as bad as it sounds but, ok, they were NOT good.

I am grateful to Growing Up Paleo for coming up with this recipe for Chocolate Coconut Milk Ice Cream . I have made just a few changes to suit my families tastes. I use a 85% cacao bar melted into one can of coconut milk. Then I add a teaspoon of vanilla and a tablespoon of maple syrup. It goes into the refrigerator to cool completely. Then, the cool mixture goes into the ice cream maker.

My family likes toppings like sliced strawberries or chopped nuts. I prefer a little sea salt and a drizzle of really good olive oil like Kasandrinos Imports. During the summer, my family has ice cream most Sunday nights.

Grab a spoon, Mom
