Do you want to know how to make Coconut Ice Cream that is perfectly creamy and does not require an ice cream machine? You are welcome! This No Churn Coconut Ice Cream is coconutty, ridiculously easy to make with just the right amount of sweetness!

By the time I am done sharing ice cream recipes here, we’ll all be ice cream gurus. Who knows, maybe some of us might open ice cream shops.

Gone are the days when ice cream only had to be made by cooking a custard with egg yolks and churning it in a machine.

Nowadays, we do not need a machine to make Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream, Homemade Chocolate Ice Cream, Mango Ice Cream, Strawberry Ice Cream, or Watermelon Ice Cream.

If you’ve never made one of these no-churn ice cream recipes, I hope you try this No Churn Coconut Ice Cream. It is life-changing! My oldest daughter says it’s the best ice cream flavor I have ever made!

The Ingredients

• Heavy Whipping Cream – an important base for most no-churn ice cream recipes as it provides volume and creaminess. Heavy cream can be found in the dairy section in grocery stores.
• Sweetened Condensed Milk – for sweetness and creaminess. Here is the sweetened condensed milk I used.
• Unsweetened Coconut Cream – for coconutty flavor and creaminess. Coconut cream is a kind of thick cream made from coconut milk and it is often sold in cans. Here is the unsweetened coconut cream used. Not to be confused with cream of coconut, which is sweetened coconut cream.
• Coconut Extract – to deepen the coconut flavor and drive home the point that this is coconut ice cream. Here is the coconut extract I use. If you want vanilla flavor you can add vanilla extract, but I like to keep the flavor profile around coconut.
• Salt – a very important ingredient as a little salt helps to balance out the sweetness in desserts.

How To Make No Churn Coconut Ice Cream

This method is easier, faster, and, I dare say, tastes better than “normal” ice cream. Here is how to make coconut ice cream with step-by-step photos:

• First, whip cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.

• Add unsweetened coconut cream, sweetened condensed milk, coconut extract and salt.

• Beat everything together until smooth.

• Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or any freezer-safe bowl and freeze for 8 hours or overnight.

• Scoop and serve.

You can serve the ice cream in a bowl or scoop it onto ice cream cones. A drizzle of chocolate sauce will take this over the top!
