Answer 4

Here is a recipe for Peanut Butter Coconut Ice Cream (vegan) from Vegetarian Times magazine. Serves 6

A heavy-duty blender (such as a Vita-Mix) makes quick work of this frozen treat, but a regular blender will get the job done if you just keep turning it off and pushing down the ice cubes. Or you can simply blend all the ingredients, chill, and process in an ice cream maker.

1 13.5-oz can light coconut milk (1 1/2 cups)

1/2 cup maple syrup

1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup French vanilla soy creamer, divided

1. Puree coconut milk, maple syrup, peanut butter, and vanilla in blender until smooth. Pour mixture into 2 ice cube trays, and freeze solid. Transfer to resealable plastic bags if storing for more than 2 days.

2. Place half of ice cream cubes and 1/2 cup soy creamer in blender, and process until smooth and creamy. Repeat with second tray of cubes and remaining 1/2 cup soy creamer.

I haven't actually tried this recipe yet, but this about all I know about freezing coconut milk.

Answer 5

How long have you froze it for? Give it a few days' worth of time.

Answer 6

Coconut milk is not strictly milk, I did not know you could make ice cream from it.   You might have to consult a food chemist.
