Coconut ice cream is a delightful treat that combines the rich, creamy texture of traditional ice cream with the exotic, tropical flavor of coconut. This dessert is not only refreshing but also offers a unique taste experience that sets it apart from more common ice cream flavors.
Made from ingredients like coconut milk or cream, sugar, and often shredded coconut flakes, it provides a dairy-free alternative for those who are lactose intolerant or following a vegan diet.
Kohl’s had one last Ninja Creami in the store yesterday so I grabbed it. My last Ninja Creami ended up burning inside somewhere and I coudn’t use the blade on it anymore. I think my problem was putting whole frozen fruit in it.
This time I’m going to make sure everything is properly blended first adding it. I can’t wait to make ice cream again. I love my Air Fryer, Blackstone, and Ninja Creami!
