Vegan Coconut Milk Ice Cream

Coconut milk is a perfect alternative for those of you who are lactose intolerant, vegan or are trying to cut back on your dairy intake.  As more people are taking a interest in their health, new products keep hitting the shelves. In the past year or so, coconut yogurt and coconut ice cream has grown in popularity. The one problem? The price.  This blog is all about eating healthy on a budget, so I set myself the challenge to make vegan, dairy and sugar free coconut milk ice cream.  It is SO simple, requires few ingredients and makes a perfect after dinner snack.  Why pay close to $15 for a tub of coconut milk ice cream when you can make your own at home? No ice cream maker required!
