Vegan Peanut Butter and Honey Ice Cream

When it comes to ice cream, one of my favourite ingredients is coconut milk. It is naturally creamy and offers a satisfying thickness and dreamy texture. While peanut butter and honey may not quite work themselves up to a tango, they are definitely dirty dancing after a fashion -- or maybe it's that awkward side to side thing kids used to do in high-school? P.S. Don't use 'light' coconut milk. Enjoy a small serving of ice cream that is made with all the fat of regular coconut milk -- not to mention peanut butter -- and you will find it satisfying.








ingredients:

1 can (400 ml) organic coconut milk

1/2 cup peanut butter -- smooth, organic, all natural etc etc

1/4 cup unpasteurized honey
1/4 cup coconut nectar

1/4 tsp sea salt

1 tbsp vanilla extract
1/16 tsp peppermint extract


directions:

1. combine the ingredients (I use an immersion blender), and chill
2. freeze in your ice-cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions
