    • Recipe

    Have you tried making dairy free ice cream with coconut milk? I've heard great things about it so I wanted to give it a try in my new ice cream maker.

    I also see folks are using sunflower seed butter as a replacement for peanut butter. Personally, I don't think sunflower seed butter tastes much like my beloved peanut butter.

    Sunflower butter has a unique taste of its own. Nonetheless, I figured I'd give it a try. This sunbutter sugar free dairy free ice cream recipe is somewhat of a mock peanut butter ice cream that is both dairy and nut free.

    I have to admit, this dairy free sunbutter ice cream took me by surprise. The full fat coconut milk was very close to regular dairy ice cream that I've made.

    I didn't use any stabilizers so it did need to thaw a bit on the counter before scooping, but I'm used to that with my homemade ice cream. The scoops came out nicely formed once it became scoopable and it was pretty creamy considering there isn't any dairy cream in it.

    Although I do like sunflower seed butter, I prefer the flavor of peanut butter over it and will likely use peanut butter next time. However, if I had a nut allergy, I'd be all over the sunbutter since peanuts would be off limits.

    This is a way to save the recipe to a virtual recipe box at Yummly. You can check out the brand new Low Carb Yum publisher page on Yummly at https://www.yummly.com/page/lowcarbyum where many of the "Yummed" recipes from this site can be found.

    I find that searching for a recipe is much better at Yummly than Pinterest because you can key in on specific criteria like ingredient or nutrition data that includes amount of carbs. Yummly has other features like automatically pulling some nutritional information based on the ingredients and recommending recipes based on your interests.

      Looks delicious! I only have English Toffee flavor liquid stevia---would that work? Or could I just use additional sweetene? I was thinking of using maple syrup or honey.
      I'll cross-reference other recipes and fit in what works.

      Love sunbutter so this should be extra yummy. Thanks!

        The toffee stevia should be fine with this flavor. It may even enhance the flavor!

      PB ice cream w/ coconut milk is actually one of my favorites! I agree that sunbutter isn't quite like pb, but it does have hints. And for the peanut allergic - it works!

        This is a healthy treat for those with allergies. Honey is a great sweetener to use for kids.

        The only thing missing is chocolate, so I may add a few chocolate chips next time.
