Coconut Ice Cream Flavors:

Peanut Butter Ice Cream: Stir 1/4 cup peanut butter into the liquid ingredients, and add some mini chocolate chips if desired.
Cookie Dough Ice Cream: Use the basic ice cream recipe, and stir in pieces of your favorite eggless cookie dough?or the dough from any of my healthy cookies recipes?into the ice cream after blending. Strawberry Ice Cream: Add 1 cup strawberries, stems removed, to the basic recipe before blending and omit the extra 1/2 cup milk of choice.
Salted Caramel Ice Cream: Swirl in homemade Coconut Caramel and add a quick sprinkle of sea salt?and maybe some shaved chocolate!?to the top of each serving.

 

 
There are so many things you can do with a can of coconut milk.
You can make Healthy Pumpkin Pie or Healthy Chocolate Pudding, you can use it for this Coconut Breakfast Cake, or you can even turn it into Chocolate Frosting Shots (readers especially love those).
Canned coconut milk is one of my favorite ingredients to use in recipes; it?s a fantastic substitute for heavy cream ...
