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.

Lime Coconut Ice Cream is the ultimate healthy summer treat. It's a super creamy, 3-ingredient, vegan ice cream that has just the right tartness from the lime. It's so easy to make and delicious that you'll want to make it all summer long!

3 cups

Ingredients

• ▢ 14 ounce can coconut cream (see notes)
• ▢ 2 limes (juice and zest)
• ▢ ½ cup coconut sugar, honey, or granulated sugar

Instructions 

• Whisk all the ingredients in a medium-sized bowl until the sugar has dissolved.
  14 ounce can coconut cream, 2 limes, ½ cup coconut sugar, honey, or granulated sugar
• Pour the lime coconut cream into your ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturer's directions. Transfer the sorbet to a freezer-proof container and freeze until solid, about 2 hours.

Notes

Use the highest fat coconut milk you can find. I like to use coconut cream, but a can of regular coconut milk will work, too. Try to use coconut cream or milk with no added ingredients for the best results.
