This olive oil ice cream may sound odd, but I guarantee you will love this ice cream and no one will know it is not dairy. You must use a good quality flavorful olive oil to make this ice cream, but it is a great use and you will wow everyone at your table. This is of course a sometimes food, but filled with good fats and so rich and satisfying a little goes a long way. The ice cream sits well for a couple of days in the freezer.

It would be okay but it’s not as creamy so the ice cream likely won’t be as creamy either
Would soy milk be a good substitute for the coconut milk? I’m not a big fan of the coconut milk flavor.
I was not sure about making this after reading the comments but it is delicious. I used California Olive Oil and added a little vanilla to fill out the flavor. THANK YOU
I am sorry you didn’t like it, the quality of the olive oil really makes all the difference here.
I tried this recipe and was very disappointed!!!! it sounded sophisticated but all you tasted was the olive oil uch!!!!!
Thanks, check this out to find pasteurized eggs http://www.safeeggs.com/store-locator
this recipe has me intrigued and I must try it! The coconut milk has got to taste delicious. I just don’t know where you can get pasturized eggs. Any suggestions?
Oh, thanks for catching that, I fixed it. 2 cups for this recipe.
Sounds like a great idea. How much coconut milk should I use in this? I don’t see it listed in the ingredients.
