Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using full-fat coconut coconut milk for that rich, creamy texture. If you want to lighten it up a bit, you can use light coconut coconut milk, but it won’t be as creamy. Maple syrup is my go-to sweetener because it adds a lovely depth, but feel free to substitute with agave if that's what you have on hand.
Tips & Notes
- •I keep my ice coconut cream in a glass container to help maintain its texture and flavor.
- •If you want a more intense coconut flavor, try adding a tablespoon of coconut extract.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I like to add in some chopped dark chocolate or mango for a tropical twist.
- •You could also try swirling in some raspberry puree before freezing for a fruity kick.
Storage & Freezing
Store your coconut ice coconut cream in an airtight container in the freezer. It should last for about 2-3 weeks, but trust me, it won’t last that long once you taste it!
