Coconut Vanilla Bean Ice Cream With "Caramel" Sauce (dairy free, cane-sugar free, SCD friendly)
One thing I haven’t had in years is caramel. As a child I just loved warm caramel drizzled over ice cream (ahhh). I’ve been experimenting with a few different “caramel” sauces, and I think this one is my favorite. Does it taste just like caramel, no. Does it taste delicious, yes. Is it a fun topping on ice cream, yes and yes. One ingredient that gives it a nice creamy texture is cashew butter. I always have some of this brand on hand (as I use it to make Danielle’s awesome bread). It’s an expensive brand, but it has a creamy texture I’ve yet to replicate. It’s sweet and delicious and makes the most amazing cashew icings.

*I often get an extra 1/2 pound of strawberries and blend them with the mixture just until they are chunky, then churn. I love the little fresh strawberry chunks in the ice cream
*You could add 1 cup finely chopped nuts or finely chopped fresh strawberries to the final few minutes in the ice cream maker.
*This recipe makes too much for my ice cream maker, so I threw some ice in with what remained in my blender and made a smoothie.

Mint Chocolate Chip Coconut Ice Cream
My sweet husband celebrated his birthday on Sunday. When asked what he wanted for his birthday dessert he declared, “Oh, your pumpkin brownies! and mint chocolate chip ice cream.”
Done and done my love.
His all-time favorite ice cream is mint chocolate chip. Our local Coop carries the coconut version and a few months ago I finally made my own batch. And I kick myself for waiting so long. It’s soooo easy to make and absolutely delicious.

I loooove chocolate, but in the summer, I most definitely prefer lighter flavours and shy away from chocolate. So this seems brilliant! Must been good if you remembered it so many years later! Cheers for recreating it!!
oooh amber I am DEFINITELY going to have to give this a try! what a perfect recipe for summer!
Mahalo! I can’t wait to di into this tropical ice cream Amber!
Amber, this looks so refreshing on this hot-as-blazes day. I don’t think I’ve ever had a pineapple flavored ice cream, but you make it look and sound so good! I love that you recreated such a happy memory!
Wow Amber this looks incredible!!! So refreshing in this heat.
Hi, Amber my name is Mia and I am 10 years old and have a great family and I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your recipes I started the SCD diet ( I also have sensitivities to lactose and eggs )around last thanksgiving because of horrible stomach pain that started with a virus that went through my town it turned my stomach upside down! I would – could not tolerate anything! I was out of school for 3 months with horrible pain, I love school, so I hated being gone, stuck at home only being able to watch tv and suffer my mom read Breaking The Vicious Cycle and said to me that I should try it, so I did and it worked! No more pain for me! It was great.. But being a 10 year old girl and dealing with it in school is hard… Knew recipes are hard to find. This website and it made my life a lot easier and tastier….that reminds me time for some fabulous tropical coconut ice cream that I made off of your website!
Thanks again,
Mia
