Light coconut milk ice cream - no ice cream maker

cmeiron

Is this a thing? I want to make ice cream using light (or half and half) coconut milk as a base, with no ice cream maker (that's not an appliance that I'm willing to purchase). I'm determined to find a recipe but not having any luck. Does anybody have anything up their sleeve?

I did a quick google search for "coconut ice cream no machine" and got several.

Edited to add a chocolate version that comes with plenty of pics:

Also, these recipes do not say if they are light coconut milk. I suppose you'll just have to substitute and see how it works out.

I made something similar
Banana cream ice cream
2 frozen bananas (frozen for at least 4 hours)
1/2 can of light coconut milk (cooled in the fridge)

Combine in a blender until smooth, I use Ninja NJ600

Also I added a cup of frozen fresh pineapple. That was very delicious! Topped with shredded coconut

No problem! Make sure the fruit is solid frozen, otherwise it's a mushy mess. Serve immediately!
