Homemade Apricot Ice Cream

Would you believe it’s Dairy Free!!

If there is one thing that I absolutely LOVE about summer, it’s homemade ice cream!! My aunt makes a lot of homemade ice cream when it’s warm outside and in all kinds of flavors. Now, I don’t have a fancy ice cream maker like she does. You have to make the mix, and get that special salt and then it’s out there turning for ever. That’s not something you will see me, myself doing. But this recipe, for Homemade Apricot Ice Cream is one that I can do! No special equipment or salt required! What makes this recipe even better is that it is dairy free! Once you have your fruit frozen, you can whip this up in no time. And, as if it needs to get any better, it only takes 4 ingredients!

Notes

You can also make this ahead of time and freeze for later. Just put it into a freezer safe container and set it in the freezer. Let the ice cream sit out for about 5 minutes to soften before you serve.

The “cooking” time is just the time for the fruit to freeze. So no worries….you won’t be slaving in the kitchen all day for this sweet treat! If you’ve never used coconut cream before, it’s thicker than coconut milk. We like to use Native Forest Coconut Cream and you can get a pack of 12 on Amazon for just $17.45! Other fruits that you could use with this recipe are strawberries, peaches or mango!
