Homemade Coconut Ice Cream

Homemade Ice cream is so yummy and satisfying. However, making your own homemade ice cream seems like it would not be an easy task. Surprise! It is far easier than you think! Homemade ice cream just tastes better, and this recipe will show you just how easy it can be to make your own delicious homemade coconut ice cream.

Zoku Ice Cream Recipe

We used this Zoku personal ice cream maker to make the ice cream. It is nice because there is no electricity required and you use it on any countertop; just pour in your chilled ice cream mixture, churn and scrape the stainless steel bowl, and watch as the ice cream freezes before your eyes. This is a single-serve ice cream maker too so for those of us worried about eating too much ice cream in one sitting.
