This tangy Orange Pineapple Ice Cream is the perfect dessert for hot summer days! What’s great about this coconut milk based recipe is that it is completely vegan-friendly. Without the presence of eggs, you can taste the mixture before you freeze it and adjust to your personal preferences.

Are you like me and prefer just a hint of citrus flavor? Start with just 1/4 can of concentrate. The recipe calls for half of a can, but this recipe is really very flexible. Keep in mind, the color will be more pale if you use less concentrate.

This is one of those recipes that you can use as a guideline and make it your own.

Just six ingredients make up this delicious concoction:

Frozen Orange Juice Concentrate

Canned Coconut Milk

Organic Sugar

Pure Vanilla Extract

Pineapple Chunks

and

Orange Segments

I first puree the orange juice concentrate, coconut milk, vanilla and sugar in a blender until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is very smooth. This is the point where you want to taste it.

I pour the mixture into the bowl of an electric ice cream maker that has been frozen overnight. This is a really important step. I allow the ice cream to process to a soft-serve consistency and then add the pineapple and oranges that I cut into pieces. Adding them any earlier just breaks them up and we are looking for nice little chunks of fruit as we bite into our ice cream.

Serve in your favorite cone or enjoy as soft-serve. It is the perfect refreshing dessert for summertime.
