A friend of mine, B, is home from work on maternity leave. She just moved to the area and is going stir crazy with two kids under four at home. The three year old is desperate for some day-time activities. With the ice cream kick I’ve been on lately, I suggested bringing some over to enjoy.
The only problem is that B is lactose intolerant. So, the traditional ice creams are usually out for her. She said sorbets are fine, but I wanted to try something different.
I really hadn’t planned on making vanilla ice cream as there is usually so many different tasty ones available in store, but considering that B cannot go to regular stores in Norway and get it – it seemed appropriate to try to make an alternative for her.
I replaced the cream and milk in this recipe with canned coconut milk.
The recipe is adapted from the book Sweet cream and sugar cones.
