Easy Raspberry Coconut Ice cream that’s Vegan and gluten free but tastes like everything you shouldn’t eat is here!
Raspberry, coconut and pistachio
I had an Italian ice cream maker in my life for a few years. Yes, you could have ice cream when ever you wanted provided you put a little effort and attention in ice cream could be yours. But that ice cream maker started to be very troublesome and I had to stand holding his churning parts till he was finished and I just got the jack of it.
I took him and left him on the footpath to be picked up by the garbage truck. I know, it did seem a bit wasteful but I just didn’t have the time any more. The paddle and the motor where strong but the bowl just unclipped each time the paddle did a turn and it was pathetic. So I have since worked out other ways to make ice creams if I want them. A simple semi freddo goes a long way and can be made in lots of flavours. They can be slightly sweeter than ice cream or sorbet but they are very handy. There is a simple recipe here and here. Or if you prefer, the most simple of simple icecreams made with condensed milk and cream. I know it sounds sweet but it isn’t . It can be made into so many things such as ice cream cakes and individual serve creations. Heres a recipe for making ice cream cake without a machine here and caramel ice cream cake here

Easy Raspberry Coconut Ice Cream
Did I hear you asking about this Raspberry ice above?. Well I am so glad you did because it’s a revelation. I won’t tell you that I ate the whole recipes worth of the one above because I convinced myself it was good for me. It really does take a swift 5 minutes, oh go on it takes longer if you are going to clean up, but you could even make this at the very last minute and serve it with a chocolate dessert. It really is the ultimate soft serve. A blender produces the best results because it pulverizes the tiny seeds, but you could make it with a processor or hand held blender. AND if it is important in your world this has no dairy or eggs….go figure.
Easy Raspberry Coconut Ice cream
Ingredients
Method
- Put the coconut cream and raspberries into the blender and blitz till smooth.
- Add 2-3 tablespoons of honey into the mixture and blitz again. Taste for sweetness, adding more honey if you like. I find 3 Tablespoon to be enough
- Eat immediately with roasted crushed nuts or a chocolate dessert.
- You can put into the freezer for several hours if you want to make it ahead.
- Note: It will freeze quite solid if left overnight
What a great recipe! Sounds fast and delicious. I loved your ice cream maker story. It deserved to be kicked to the curb.
Awesome! Pretty sure I could convince myself it is a health food and devour way too much too. 🙂
I, too, had a gelato machine before the ice cream machine that I now have. That gelato maker was twice as expensive and was very short-lived. Had I known about this method of making delicious ice cream, I wouldn’t have bought either machine. 🙂
I’m totally sure that this is so healthy for you that eating the lot at once is justified Tania 🙂 Yummo!
This looks exquisite!! I’ve made a strawberry version of this but raspberry sounds marvelous. Can’t wait to try it. 🙂
That is so beautiful it’s crazy to think that it is that simple! And raspberry and coconut are two of my favourite flavours 😀
Wow, such a great sweet tooth…
never taste the combination of raspberry and coconut, but betis mstme something hits!!!
What great photos!
That is such a gorgeous colour – I don’t have an ice cream maker so this is perfect for me.
Isn’t coconut ice cream amazing?! It was a revelation to me too, and I love your raspberry version 🙂
I use a small Mistral Igloo, and have been using it for many years. I think it only cost about $45 9 or so years ago and still going strong. I’ll definitely be trying this recipe in it! Thanks!
Gorgeous colour! Saving this for the coming summer. Thanks for sharing, Tania.
It’s amazing how this is made with so few ingredients. I love how it’s dairy-free! I too, have had appliances and things that get me so cranky I’ve been guilty of dumping them on the nature strip xx
The motor in my gelato machine carked it recently. I don’t think anyone has parts. The compressor works great but nothing turns. Makes me angry to spend that kind of money and have no way to get it fixed. I don’t even get a reply from them on where to take it.
I’ll have to make this ‘fruity dream’ and think back on all the ice cream I did eat.
