Icecream! So I figured out a way to make some very yummy sugar free iced cream

recently. I bought a Cuisinart iced cream maker this summer--it's a newer type

that doesn't require salt or hand cranking or anything. Basically you just

freeze the inner bowl overnight, add your ingredients and turn it on for about

20 minues. I've made two types now, coconut blueberry and coconut peach. The

recipes is pretty simple, take a cup or two of fruit, cook it down, add vanilla

flavoring or a vanilla bean, puree it in the blender and put in the fridge to

chill. When ready to make the iced cream add two cans of coconut milk and the

fruit . It lasts a very long time since it's so rich. My hubby who's not on

the program enjoys it. The iced cream does get hard after being in the freezer

for awhile, so I sometimes leave it out while having dinner so it's softer when

I want to eat it. Really, it's best freshly made, but edible after, too. I may

try some

fall flavors now that the weather is changing, like cinnamon apple .

thank you! I made a version of strawberry/coconut some weeks ago and

its rock solid, but if you thaw it a bit its ok ( no ice cream maker

here so it was just in the freezer+stirring) made a nice treat.

May I repost this on Brits, as Sally was seeking coconut milk/ice

cream recipes?

Mosaic, yes, of course, please share with whomever.

Strawberry coconut, that sounds delish!
