Now, who doesn’t love a good ice cream . . .
This creation came about when I was excited to try out Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk (by Nature’s Charm) for the first time . This delicious ice cream requires no other sweeteners than the condensed coconut milk which lends the sweetness and the creaminess to this ice cream base. Throw in some chunks of gluten-free coconut caramel (by Nature’s Charm, too!) cookie dough bites and you’re in vegan ice cream heaven!
