This lemoniest lemonade ice cream tastes like edible sunshine!
Lemonade ice cream is way easier to make than you’d expect! Zesty lemons, rich maple syrup, and coconut cream blend perfectly together – no ice cream maker needed. Serve this citrusy dessert with fresh berries or coconut flakes sprinkled on top.
Coconut cream makes up the silky base of this ice cream with added nutrients to keep things light. Blend it with tapioca starch to create a soft whipped texture and drizzle in a bit of maple syrup for sweetness. Tie everything together with juicy lemons for a signature tart flavor.

To get started, chill the coconut cream overnight. Open the cans, scoop out the solid cream, and save the liquid for another recipe (like these Coconut Milk Ice Cubes). Set the solidified cream off to the side. In a blender, pulse the sliced lemons with water until you get a thick homogeneous mixture. Reserve for later.
In a large bowl, whisk together coconut cream, maple syrup, and tapioca starch. Whisk until the cream is fully combined. Add in the zest, lemon juice, and blended lemons. Mix until the ingredients are evenly distributed. Note: If the mixture is too sour, add more maple syrup (one tablespoon at a time).
Then, pour the mixture into the loaf pan and cover with aluminum foil. Transfer to the freezer for at least eight hours or let it set overnight. Once the ice cream is solid, scoop and serve with sprinkled lemon zest and enjoy!
