Make Your Own Ice Cream - Strawberry Coconut Ice Cream, Blackberry Ice Cream, Banana Nut Ice Cream, Vanilla Frozen Yogurt & Triple Berry Sorbet

Strawberry cocnut ice cream with mangos & strawberries

     Dairy free is possible.  Especially with Strawberry Coconut ice cream.  To me coconut anything tastes good.That recipe comes from  the author's website of The Whole Life Nutrition Cookbook.   Last summer I also made some blackberry  and banana nut ice cream with milk.  The frozen yogurt recipe is nice and tangy and the triple berry sorbet a flavor explosion.  I made it during berry picking time. 

STRAWBERRY COCONUT ICE CREAM

Put in a blender or Vita-Mix the following ingredients: 
(1)   2  cans full fat coconut milk
(2)  2 to 2 1/2 cups frozen strawberries (about 1 pound)
(3)  1/2 cup honey or agave nectar,  and  1 tablespoon vanilla extract.  
(4)   Blend them until all the ingredients are smooth and creamy.

Set up your ice cream maker:  Immediately pour the liquid into the ice cream maker.  It takes about 25 minutes for it to get to the right consistency.  Transfer immediately to a freezer container.  It needs to chill about 2 hours before you eat it. 

BLACKBERRY ICE CREAM

In a large bowl:  Put in 1 cup of whole milk, 1/2 cup of sugar and whisk together for 2 minutes until the sugar is dissolved.  Stir in 2 cups of whipping cream and 1-2 teaspoons of vanilla.  Add 2 cups of crushed blackberries.  (I usually put them in a shallow pan and use a masher to crush them.)

Set up your ice cream maker:   Immediately pour the liquid into the ice cream maker. It takes about 25 minutes for it to get to the right consistency. Transfer immediately to a freezer container. It needs to chill about 2 hours before you eat it. 

 BANANA NUT CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM

In a blender or Vita-Mix combine:   Break 4 bananas into hunks, 1 T lemon juice, 1 t vanilla, 1 cup sugar, 1 1/3 cup whipping cream, and 2/3 cup of whole milk.   Puree until smooth.

Set up your ice cream maker: 
(1)   Immediately pour the liquid into the ice cream maker. It takes about 25 minutes for it to get to the right consistency.  
(2)   Add to it 1/2+ cup of chopped walnuts and 1/2+ cup chocolate chips and let it run 5 more minutes.  (3)  Transfer immediately to a freezer container. It needs to chill about 2 hours before you eat it. 

VANILLA FROZEN YOGURT

Mix in a bowl:  3 cups of whole milk yogurt, 1 cup of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla.  Stir until the sugar is dissolved.

TRIPLE BERRY SORBET

Put in a blender or Vita-Mix:  4 cups of berries--blackberries, blueberries, strawberries (or just use 1 type of berry), 1 cup of water, and 2/3 cup of sugar.  Blend  a few minutes.  Stir in 2 t of fresh lemon juice.
