This lime coconut ice cream doesn't taste anything like what I thought it would. I was going for a coconut sorbet with a hint of lime. What I got was the opposite, a lime sorbet with a hint of coconut. Not that I'm complaining, it's delicious.
The bright flavor of the lime is kept perfectly in check by the creamy coconut. It's a flavor match made in heaven.
This is all about summertime ice cream magic.

Bring on the vegan ice cream!
We've got a bit of a thing around here for dairy-free ice cream. This lime coconut ice cream is the 9th vegan ice cream recipe on the blog. And with summer beginning, I guarantee it won't be the last.
Even though I cook with more butter than I care to admit and sprinkle cheese on my pasta, when it comes to ice cream, dairy-free is the only way to go. Regular ice cream leaves me feeling pretty terrible. #truth!
Are you the same way?
I love that I can eat a big bowl of vegan ice cream and feel great afterward.
