❓ FAQ

Can I use light coconut milk?
Full-fat coconut milk is best for creaminess. Light coconut milk will make it icy and less rich.

Can I use honey instead of maple syrup?
Yes, but it won’t be vegan. Agave or date syrup are also great plant-based options.

Is this ice cream scoopable?
Yes! Let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes for perfect scoops.

This easy and indulgent coconut milk ice cream is a must-try for anyone wanting a dairy-free dessert that doesn’t compromise on creaminess or flavor. Whether you're vegan, lactose intolerant, or just love tropical treats, this is your new favorite ice cream recipe!
