No Ice Cream Machine? No Problem!
Vanilla Coconut Ice Cream Freezer-Stir Method
While more time intensive, for ice cream recipes calling for an ice cream machine, you can also manually make the ice cream with the freezer-stir method. To do this, simply pour the blended mixture into a large bowl or flat pan and set in the freezer, stirring or whisking it every 15–20 minutes to break up the crystals until it reaches your desired consistency.
Enjoy!

- In a blender, process all ingredients until very creamy. If using the chilled canister-type of ice cream maker, refrigerate the blended ingredients for 1–2 hours before processing in the ice cream machine for the best results.
- Pour the chilled mixture into the ice cream maker and process according to the manu- facturer’s instructions or use the freezer-stir method.
So love your recipes! For the can of coconut cream do you use the entire content of the can or just the solid part near the top? Thinking maybe can also sub just the solid part of canned coconut milk? Want to make right now and no cream!
