Love frozen treats? Try this creamy lavender ice cream made with coconut milk for a fancy take on an old favorite!

I’ve always been an ice cream lover. Cake and other bready pastries were never really my thing even before I went Paleo. But ice cream? Bring it on!

This coconut lavender ice recipe is very easy to make and the lavender give it a fancy touch.  It’s the perfect recipe for a post-dinner treat. The floral flavor perfectly compliments the vanilla and coconut milk.

For best results, have all your ingredients measured out and within easy reach. That way, when the saucepan is heating up and you need to be stirring, you’re not scrambling trying to find the ingredients! The continuous stirring is necessary to prevent the ice cream mixture from curdling as it cooks. Also, make sure that your lavender flowers are marked as “culinary” so you know they’re safe to eat.

Coconut milk makes the perfect stand-in for dairy cream in this recipe. I would argue that it tastes even better. The thicker the coconut milk you use, the better the ice cream, so buy full-fat coconut milk.

Right out of the ice cream maker, this is a soft-serve style dessert. You can pop it back in the freezer if you’d like your ice cream firmer.
