Toasted Coconut Ice Cream {Vegan}

I have been wanting to make ice cream with coconut milk for like for.ever.   Coconut ice cream is a must order whenever it is on the ice cream menu. 

Having a whole bunch in my freezer just waiting for me is a dream come true.

The ice cream comes together so easily with two cans of coconut milk, sugar, and vanilla.  The toasted coconut only adds to the coconut flavor. Plus I like the little crunch in each bite.

As an ice cream this is one solid recipe. A bit more sophisticated than vanilla or chocolate.  But also a great base for chocolate pieces or any other add ins.  

A bowl of this each night keeps me one happy gal.
