Notes

Recipe copyright Legally Healthy Blonde. For educational or personal use only.
  • When using coconut cream, be sure to scoop the coconut cream out, and do not use the watery liquid at the bottom of the can. 
  • Don't drink alcohol? Substitute with a non-alcoholic bourbon like this one, or add an extra teaspoon or two of vanilla extract. 
  • If you want the ice cream to be extra minty, consider adding just a few drops of mint extract.
  • To make this recipe sugar-free, substitute the sugar with a sweetener such as a stevia, monk fruit, or erythritol. Follow the respective package instructions for proper conversions.
