As my daughter is lactose intolerant I started to make cashew based ice cream. Now, we only eat homemade and I think it tastes better than any store bought. I still try to improve, and was wondering if there are any homemade ice cream makers here?

    Yes. We just had a scoop of homemade coconut sorbet tonight, super simple to make:

    • 1 cup of water
    • 1 cup of sugar
    • 1 can of unsweetened coconut cream
    • 1 can of unsweetened coconut milk
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract

    Bring the water and sugar to a boil, lower the heat to medium, and let it simmer for 10 minutes to make a simple syrup. Let the syrup cool to room temperature, then mix all the ingredients together in a blender briefly, then pour into your ice cream maker and freeze. Set the sorbet into the freezer for at least 2 hours to finish the freezing.

    If you can’t find coconut cream, you can just use 2 cans of full fat coconut milk, but it will be icier.

      Nice! I’m using a similar recipe as basis for fruit based ice creams. So about half coconut cream and half fruit. I use xanthan and guar to make it less icy, and maltodextrin to make it creamier.
