Fact #1: I love ice cream. Fact #2: I haven't had ice cream since September! Well, that is until today. I have seen these posts on pinterest for homemade ice cream in a baggy and I wondered if it were possible to make it using coconut milk. Well thanks to my good friend Google I found out it is possible! This is sooooooo easy and it was really yummy! Even Tyler liked it! It's also really fun to make. Tyler had a good time shaking the bag and Clara thought it was hilarious!
It makes enough for one serving, although I would say maybe even two. It is pretty sweet and I wouldn't have felt jipped if Mark had decided to share with me.
1/2 cup coconut milk (like Thai Kitchen, so the actual real creamy, canned coconut milk) (it has to be the real coconut milk, not the lite coconut milk)
1 1/2 T sugar
1/4 t vanilla
optional add-ins: 1 T cocoa or ~3 T pureed fruit (like strawberries...mmmm) If you want to add chunks of stuff (cookie bits, strawberry pieces, etc.), wait until after the ice cream is frozen, then stir in those pieces (after it was finished I squirted on the tiniest bit of hershey's chocolate syrup - yes, that is dairyfree - and mmmm it was good)
For ice cream making:
~1 2/3 cup ice
~1/3 cup salt (if you have rock salt great, if not use whatever salt you have, it doesn't really matter) (I just used good ol' table salt)
1 Ziploc Sandwich Bag
1 Ziploc Gallon size storage bag
Directions
Mix all ice cream ingredients together and pour into the sandwich bag (you could also mix the ingredients in the bag, too). Remove all excess air from the bag and seal it (make sure it's sealed really well, or you'll have salty ice cream).
Place ice and salt in the one-gallon bag, and add the sealed ice cream bag. Remove as much excess air from the gallon size bag and seal it.
Knead the bag for 7-10 minutes. (basically I just shook it like a polaroid picture for about 6 minutes and it was nice and ice creamy. It is really cold though. I decided to hold it with a towel after my hands fell off from frostbite!)
To mom: I bet Eli would have a blast making this!
To Heather, Katelyn, Melissa: This would be a fun date/FHE/girls night/whatever
To everyone: will someone please remind me to take a picture before I devour my food!
