    I looked for a paleo/primal ice cream recipe online for a good while until I just gave up because they all called for an ice cream maker! Thank you for these!

    Oh, good lord. I made the coconut ice cream with cocoa and chocolate whey protein and ate a serve last night.
    You are my new god.

    awesome!! thanks so much!
    I am paleo but am allergic to eggs. any thoughts of what I could use instead of the egg yolks? Also, I am allergic to bananas so thats not an option either :(

    Allergic to eggs, eh?

    Hmmm... Now that is a tricky one. The egg yolks go a long way in making it creamy and preventing it from becoming a coconut brick. Are you against the idea of using vodka, instead? 2-3 tablespoons should do the trick.

    Ha! Well, I'm glad it worked out. :P

    How was it with whey? To be honest, I've never tried it with it, myself; I've done raspberry, honey-vanilla and cocoa-almond, but never vanilla whey. What was it like?

    I used chocolate whey, it was fantastic. I actually divided the batch up into 4 serves in ramekins and covered them with cling wrap before freezing, but I found the ice cream had gone quite "icy" on the second night instead of being as creamy. Am thinking maybe I need a lid instead of plastic (and maybe turn the freezer down a bit!!!)

    Oh, thank you so much! I'm really struggling with cutting out the little snack/indulgence foods, but this makes me feel a little better. I'll just have to be careful about how much honey I add.... great pictures, too. Thank you!

    Well I am headed to the store this weekend to get some ingredients to make the coconut milk one. It sounds soooo good and I was a Ice Cream lover for my entire life on this rock....haha

    I will post up how it turns out! Might try some different things in mine also to give people more ideas. I already have one trick I am thinking of while typing this.....

    I made this last week and it was so good!

    http://paleomg.com/sugar-detox-sweet-potato-ice-cream-toasted-walnuts/

    I skipped the nuts since I can't tolerate them, but it was delicious nonetheless. It tasted like a cold sweet potato pie, which I guess might not appeal to everyone, but I was into it.

    This was great! I made the coconut milk ice cream and added a pint of fresh Blackberries to it and froze it. It had only been in the freezer for about 5 hours and the middle was still runny. So it really does need a good 6 hours in there. But it was great! Topped it on a banana and some shredded coconut on top and had my first real dessert since going Paleo.

    Thanks man!

    Hi. I'm interested in making the coconut milk ice cream but I have coconut milk that doesn't look like that. Mine is a box of coconut milk and it is not as thick. Do you think it would work or should I not waste my time?

    No probs - it was my pleasure. :)

    You may find the ice cream is a lot harder the next time you get at it, though, so I'd recommend leaving it out on the counter for a few minutes (maybe up to fifteen) to let it defrost a bit. I made a batch for the week and, well, it was like a brick when i tried to serve it. I might experiment with adding a small dash of vodka; hear it preserves it.

    ...I have absolutely no idea. Sorry. :/

    I've seen the stuff (I think) that you're talking about - could you perhaps tell me the fat and calorie content? The more fat in the milk, the creamier it'll be.
    As for whether or not you should "waste" your time, I would say - yes, by all means! - "invest" :P your time into making it. Who knows? It could work, at worst you'll have a coconut sorbet kinda thing.

    Yep, even the edges were quite hard compared to the runny middle. Good advice to let it sit out a bit.

    Calories are 80 per 1 cup. And fat is 4.5 grams per cup. Still sounds delicious and think I'll give it a go.
