This Coconut Lime Ice Cream is the ultimate summer treat! Creamy coconut milk meets bright, zesty lime for a smooth, tropical dessert that’s dairy-free, super refreshing, and packed with flavor. Each bite is rich yet light, sweet with a citrusy kick – like a tropical vacation in a scoop! 






• 2 cups full-fat coconut milk (from a can)
• 1 cup coconut cream (or more coconut milk for lighter texture)
• ½ cup pure maple syrup or honey
• Zest of 2 limes
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• Optional: ½ cup shredded sweetened coconut for texture


In a blender or bowl, whisk together coconut milk, coconut cream, maple syrup, lime zest, lime juice, vanilla, and salt until smooth.

Cover and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until fully cold.

Pour into your ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer’s instructions. In the last few minutes of churning, add the shredded coconut (if using).

Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 2–4 hours until scoopable.

Scoop into bowls or cones and garnish with extra lime zest or toasted coconut for an extra punch of flavor!
