Screaming for the cream, ICE CREAM!

Summer is here, well it's here in theory. In Seattle it's sill raining and we haven't seen the sun in some time. It did reach about 70 degrees, which felt down right hot. So now that "summer" is here I'm going to start experimenting with ice cream recipes. I have a cuisinart ice cream maker. The ice cream is always good and it's really easy. I mean the basic vanilla is 1 cup milk, 2 cups heavy cream, 3/4 cup sugar and 2 tsp of vanilla, stir it all in a bowl and pour into machine and 30 minutes or less later you have ice cream. I have made an epic chocolate and a chocolate peanut butter.
Now it is time to experiment with non dairy. As with anything that taste great it's not always great for you. So tonight I searched the internet for some non dairy options and came across one using coconut milk as the base so I gave it a go. It follows the same recipe as the basic vanilla. 2 cups coconut milk (not lite) 1 cup soy or nut milk, 1/3 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon vanilla.
I will have to say for the first outing it was pretty good. Not great but good. It was creamyish and smooth. Had a nice coconut taste. I'm going to keep experimenting with different non dairy options and see what works the best.
