We got a tiny ice cream maker for our wedding, and though it only makes 2 servings and they’re usually very soft, I can’t resist experimenting with it when my sweet cravings make me crazy.
For this one:
2 yellow nectarines, 1 tbsp maple syrup (more if you like sweeter) & a dash of lemon cooked just enough to make it soft and bubbly. Put in freezer to cool. Put 1 can light coconut milk, 1 tbsp vanilla, a dash of sea salt & a dash of cardamom in the blender. Toss in nectarine mixture, blend. Put back in freezer to cool, pop in ice cream maker, garnish with mint. The end. Yum.
I’ve got a KitchenAid ice cream maker attachment, and I love it. I make a really, really good vegan peanut butter coconut milk ice cream, that uses maple syrup and vanilla beans. Great, now I’m craving it.
We just got a hand me down Kitchen Aid – I should look into that attachment! It has to work better than this…
I just keep the freezer bowl to the attachment in the freezer year-round, so it’s always ready to roll. The attachment is $70 brand new, which is, like, 11 pints of storebought coconut milk ice cream. Totally worth it.
I got the Kitchen Aid attachment for $50 on Amazon recently. LOVE it.
Nectarines meet cardamom? Hello! Looks absolutely gorgeous and a great alternative to those Luna and Larry’s coconut bliss pints that have a hold over me. :>
Oh my gosh that looks delicious! I love making ice cream and have several recipes under my belt. I’ll definitely try this.
this sounds so yummy. i also love love love the little ice cream bowls. if you are having trouble with it being too soft, you might mix in a little arrowroot dissolved in coconut milk/water when you have finished heating the fruit mixture.
I love nectarines or peaches with cardamom. I want to eat it NOOOOOW. The colors in that last photo are so sweet. Sigh.
Trying this!!
Oh, so perfect for summer. Making me hungry and I love the idea of maple syrup instead of sugar!
I love the idea of a tiny ice cream maker. This looks delicious and the photos are great.
Oh man, so good. Coconut milk is the best. I recently became addicted to these little coconut milk ice “cream” sandwiches. “Only 7 grams of sugar in each one!” I proclaimed, and then proceeded to eat four in a row. Oops.
A 2-serving ice cream maker sounds perfect. Any more than that, and its trouble.
