Coconut Vanilla Ice Cream! Dairy-free!!

Let's face it, it's summer... when I hear summer I hear ice cream! I love ice cream. Alot. After many flops THIS is the recipe we love!!! The possibilities of flavors are endless if you keep this your basic recipe!

Coconut Vanilla Ice Cream

2c coconut milk (i use canned because its thicker and works better!)
1/2c raw honey
5-8 drops vanilla stevia
1-2 tsp. pure vanilla
1/4 tsp. guar gum or arrowroot

*I usually double this recipe*

First, I mix all of the ingredients in my vitamix then pour into my wonderful, beautiful, amazing ice cream maker. Then I push on, leave it for 30 mins and move it to my freezer. Voila! Super easy! Then I would suggest taking the ice cream out of the freezer approx. 20 mins before serving! Top with berries or your favorite topping! Also tastes delicious in root beer floats!

P.S. my ice cream maker (that I adore) is this one : http://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-ICE-30BC-Indulgence-2-Quart-Automatic/dp/B0006ONQOC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1341028346&sr=8-2&keywords=cuisinart+ice+cream+maker
