Only 2 ingredients to make this creamy, smooth coconut ice cream without a machine!
Last summer I went a bit crazy with no churn ice creams. I shared Oreo Fudge, Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup, and Cake Batter no churn ice cream recipes! Well, I’m back with another version! This Coconut Ice Cream, is only 2 ingredients and ridiculously delicious! We are already planning on making it again!
I have a specific recipe coming on Thursday that I made this particular ice cream for, so stay tuned for that, but this coconut ice cream is perfect as is straight from the freezer! Smooth and creamy! If shredded coconut is not your thing, no worries! It’s in the picture as a garnish, but it’s not in the ice cream! There might be tiny bits of coconut from the cream of coconut, but they are few and far between bites.
This recipe is as simple as heavy whipping cream and cream of coconut! Now, if you haven’t used cream of coconut, you will be converted! I have made fruit dips and frozen drinks with it like crazy! I’ve also used it in cake. SO GOOD! You can find Cream of Coconut in a 15oz can (pictured below) in the alcoholic mixers aisle. It’s non-alcoholic, so it’s safe for the whole family to enjoy. It’s creamy, coconut-y, and sweet! The perfect base to make coconut recipes with!
I hope you are excited to try this recipe, because I’m excited to share it with you! (Video added 6/24/17)

Do you know why the coconut water separated from the coconut cream and cream upon mixing? I think I may have over whisked but the water parts separated leaving a think lumpy mixture. The taste is great but texture is off. I will try this again!
If the cream of coconut is separated in the can, whisk it first before pouring it into the whipped cream, then fold it. Hope this helps!
Can you also put pineapple in this…if so how much?
I would try a small can of crushed pineapple. Drain all the juice out and fold it in. Enjoy!
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I made it today. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. The ice cream lacked flavor & was not nearly as smooth as the video suggest. Because coconut ice cream is my favorite, I won’t give up on this recipe just yet. Next time i plan to add crushed pineapple & sweetened coconut flakes & maybe even some nuts for added flavor & texture. I also suggest pouring the mixture into Popsicle molds instead since the consistency more closely resembles that of coconut ice pops:).
Hi Olga, What brand of Cream of Coconut did you use? It shouldn’t be “icy” at all.
My husband is a diabetic and on a low carb diet. Has anyone tried the recipe using unsweetened cream of coconut and adding liquid Splenda for the sweetness? They even have a coconut flavored Splenda. Very interested in making. Not worried about calories or fat.

I think you’re headed in the right direction for substitutions. I hope it works out for you!
What is the carb count?
Unfortunately, as I am not a registered dietician, I am not comfortable sharing nutritional information for any of my recipes. I recommend utilizing online calorie counters at your discretion to obtain such information.
Do you know how long it lasts in the freezer once made. I doubt it’ll last more than one serving, but does it stay good for a while?
This ice cream lasts a good 2 weeks with an airtight lid, in a freezer safe container. Enjoy!
I made this but I added fresh shredded coconut to the mix and then froze it. When I served it I drizzled a little chocolate syrup over the top. My husband loved Mounds candy bars, he said it tasted like a frozen Mounds. I told him next dish I will sprinkle a few almond slivers so he can have an Almond Joy. Great recipe.
Yum! Love that idea of almonds and shredded coconut!
