I’ve not been one to indulge in ice cream too often – maybe because most dairy free “ice cream” offerings, in my opinion, aren’t really worth the calories.  If I DO indulge in the real thang, it’s going to be one flavor and one flavor only – COFFEE.  In fact, here’s a confession for you:  when hubby and I were dating, we were known to frequent a certain ice cream chain.  My constant choice – I mean every time we went – was coffee ice cream with chocolate sprinkles.

Well, here’s my coffee ice cream offering that is dairy free, refined sugar free, creamy and delicious.  My kids, like me, love the coffee flavor. I like to use a coconut milk with no additives, like Aroy-D or Natural Value.

This is the ice cream maker that I use. I find that it’s easy to use and works like a charm! I keep the insulated container in my freezer at all times for those occasions where ice cream is calling my name!
