Coconut ice cream

May 22, 2016 Jump to Recipe | Pin Recipe Print Recipe

Mouth watering coconut ice cream

Last Updated March 24, 2017
Coconut ice cream served in small clear dish.

Over the last 15 minutes, I ate three bowls of this coconut ice cream while trying to figure out something clever to say about it.

Go make it.

And when it’s ready, prepare to be mesmerized.

It’s vegan and a great Vitamix recipe to make on a warm summer day.

Enjoy!

As tasty as it is beautiful

Useful tips for Coconut ice cream

We used a 32-ounce container on our G-Series Vitamix (a Pro 750). If you’re using a full size, 64 ounce container, you’ll probably need to make a double (or triple batch).

Read more about the Vitamix container situation here

Use frozen bananas so you don't have to dilute the flavor with ice.

If you don't have time to freeze the coconut milk. Use 1/2 cup in liquid form + 1 cup ice. Then place in a loaf pan to freeze after blending for an hour.

    Since it doesn’t say “sweetened,” am I correct on assuming it is 1/4 cup UNsweetened coconut flakes?

      Totally up to you! We’ve made it both ways and they are equally as delicious 🙂

    I made this in my 64 oz size container last night and it was a huge hit with the brownies I made. It made a super loud scary noise while I tamped it down so I only blended for 30 seconds. Still, really good! I’m assuming I should use the smaller container size (which I haven’t yet purchased)

    Haven’t made it yet….So, likeTari A’s question, can I use my 48 oz container? I don’t think they make a 32 oz for the A3500 series. That’s what I have and I love it. I’d like to try but want to know if a regular size recipe will work in my 48 oz container.

      Hey Susan, yes, you can absolutely use the 32-ounce. 🙂

    This sounds delicious. I haven’t made it yet, partly because I just found it and mostly because I only have a 64 ounce container with my new A3500. I’ve been considering a smaller container. I’ve checked with Vitamix and the only one compatible with my A3500 is a 48 ounce. I really don’t want a double or triple batch of this, so do you think I can do one batch in the 48 ounce?

      Hi Tari, Yes, the 48-ounce will work great for this recipe as it’s listed. 🙂

    I am so glad I found this recipe. I had an idea to make ice cream out of some coconut milk I wanted to use up and bananas. I didn’t have to go through the process of trial and error. It is delicious
