Vegan Coconut Lime Ice Cream

Posted On March 22, 2021

This vegan coconut lime ice cream is the ultimate summer treat. It’s no-churn, packed with sunny flavors, and made all in a blender with easy to find ingredients. It most definitely puts the lime in the coconut. Only 10g Net Carbs Per Serving!

When it comes to vegan ice cream, I want flavor without compromise. No need to pretend the coconut isn’t there. Love the coconut. Put lime with the coconut. Have a party with the coconut. This recipe is vegan heaven. The coconut is in your face, and I’ve provided a sliding scale of tartness so lime lovers like me can get it all and also those with more of a subtle approach to lime are happy. I love homemade ice cream. It’s such a fun and easy activity to do with my girls.

Here’s What You Need To Make Vegan Coconut Lime Ice Cream

Here’s what you need in one grocery list:

• Non-dairy coconut sweetened condensed milk
• Full-fat coconut milk
• Pure vanilla extract
• Fine pink Himalayan salt
• Limes, including zest

Tip for lime to coconut ratio: For lime lovers, use the zest and juice of two limes. For a more powerful coconut flavor and nice hint of lime, use the zest and juice of one lime.

Tips To Making Homemade No-Churn Vegan Ice Cream

Container size matter

I freeze using smaller containers unless I am serving several people at one time for ease of storage and serving. Because this is a no-churn ice cream made using a blender, it is best to allow it to melt for a few minutes. I personally don’t like thawing and unthawing ice cream, so use two mini loaf containers and make two smaller batches. The size I use is 5 3/4 inch X 3 1/4 inch X 2 1/4 inch. I linked the exact product I use.

How Long to Freeze Ice Cream

Best practice is allow your ice cream to freeze overnight. If you are preparing it same day, I would make it first thing in the morning so it will be ready for a mid-afternoon treat.

Toppings!!!

Normally I’d say go crazy, but for this vegan ice cream recipe, simple is better. Here are my go-to toppings for this vegan ice cream:

• Toasted coconut flakes (toasted is a must to me)
• Raspberries
• Crumbled graham crackers
• Non-dairy whip cream or cool whip

How To Toast Coconut Flakes: Easy! Simple pour into a heated pan while watching pan closely the entire time. Usually 5 minutes or up to 10 minutes is enough time. Just watch it the entire time to ensure they don’t burn. Stir occasionally.

Recipe Variations

Use this same recipe and make a raw vegan frozen coconut lime cheesecake. Simply blend all ingredients and place in a graham cracker pie crust and freeze. Use the topping suggestions above.

Can I Use Regular Condensed Milk For This Recipe?

For more creaminess, traditional condensed milk does work really well and won’t compromise the flavor since it still calls for coconut milk. I love that this is a vegan ice cream, but yes, it does work well with regular condensed milk. Check out my Pistachio Cardamom Ice Cream Recipe too!
