Blueberry Coconut Milk Ice Cream

While most of you are sweltering in the summer heat, us Seattlites are donning our fall coats and scratching our heads wondering where summer went. I joyously anticipate the cooler air, apple picking, scarf knitting and all that comes with fall; however I will not settle for a pseudo summer! 

So, in the meantime I won't let this fickle weather turn me melancholy. I will remain in my shorts and flip flops and eat and drink cold things as if I were melting in the Alabama heat. I will keep the windows open, sleep with the fan on, and rub my forehead with ice chips...okay maybe that is going a little too far....anyway, you get the picture. 

This dairy and egg free bowl of yumminess is ideal for those of you beating the heat or in my case wishing for it. Not only is this a great alternative to regular ol' ice cream it is a lot easier to make and more gentle on your tummy:) We have a myriad of blueberries left over from blueberry picking this summer but you can use any fruit you have on hand. 

So to all of you out there with farmer's tans and newly sprouted freckles....don't shake your fist at the scorching heat, embrace it because fall is just around the corner and the days of eating homemade ice cream are fleeting. 

Also don't forget about the snazzy CUSTOM BLOG BANNER GIVEAWAY! The Mr. and I are flyin' the roost next week so I will announce the winner when we return. Until then the giveaway will remain open :)

ps. I've loved reading all the ways you have been blessed this summer!

Blueberry Coconut Milk Ice Cream

• 3 cups coconut milk (whole fat not reduced)
• 3-4 TBSP raw honey
• 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

 Put the coconut milk, honey and blueberries in a high speed blender and blend until smooth. If you have unwanted chunks you can pour the mixture through a fine mesh seive or cheesecloth. Pour mixture into a bowl and chill in the fridge for 1 hour or overnight. Once chilled, place mixture into ice cream maker and follow the manufactures instructions. 

Store in the freezer. Let it rest on the counter for a few minutes prior to scooping. ENJOY!

Your ice cream looks delicious and simple! :) I love it.

[Paula]

I just can`t stop looking at these pics!

That looks really refreshing.... Because my son has been gluten-free for 12 years, we've found coconut milk to be a life saver in so many ways. In a pinch, we've just poured it straight from the can into the ice cream freezer with a little honey and a few vanilla beans and it is nothing but satisfying. Now, to add the blueberries--that takes it to a new level! Thank you for sharing.

Thank goodness for this recipe. I am in love with coconut milk ice cream, but wary of the controversy surrounding agave nectar these days (it's in my favorite brand). I will have to go in search of an ice cream maker to borrow/steal!!

[fresh365]

Three ingredients? Perfect! Glad you are enjoying your "summer" ;)

[Kath]

This looks fabulous! And it's perfect for my daughter who is lactose intolerant and my husband who can eat honey but is sensitive to sugar. I may try it with peaches! Thanks!

[Missy]

This looks incredible! We are still in triple digits here, so I fully embrace this end of summer treat..I can't wait to zip up a jacket!

Arizona is still in the triple digits! Oh, how I desire to see the fall come. Unfortunately, the leaves don't have brillant color like back East.

[Sophie]

[Laura (Blogging Over Thyme)]

This looks delicious! I just received an ice cream maker this summer--so I'll definitely bookmark this for the future!

[Sarka]

We have also already welcomed autumn and I really enjoy it! However, the summer was too short this year and I still can't believe it's gone already! But your ice cream definitely brings a bit of summer back! I have to give it a try. It looks so easy and delicious.

[Kristina]

Yummy, just made this! I got an ice cream maker for Christmas and needed an egg/dairy free recipe using ingredients I had on hand (since all the stores were closed). Next time I may add some vanilla, but no matter what, there certainly will be a next time! Thank you.

[Katrina]

I made this, it's quite tasty. I might have added more blueberries though.

[jenna]

So happy to have found this! My daughter (and therefore all of us) is on a doctor-recommended anti-yeast diet. Since it's summer, she's been missing out on ice cream, popsicles, etc... I think she'll be thrilled to have this as a special treat this weekend. Thanks!

[Jessie]

That looks delish! What happens if you don't have an ice cream maker?

[low carb recipes]

This recipe looks so good, I think i will try making it but instead of coconut milk I will use Almond Milk, and I will have to replace the honey as it has too many carbs for me. Either Way I hope it turns out half as good as yours and I will be happy!
