i made a reDONKulus coconut ice cream with lime zest. amazing. i sort of like that its a pain to make because its a bit of a deterrent to eating it every day. its dangerous that there is paleo ice cream so available! hopefully not anywhere near me, or i will balloon to 400 pounds in no time. i also prefer to cheat with the real stuff. this is a bit too easy to justify eating more frequently than one probably should. |

Even though it does include the holy coconut (all bow down- Yum!) and there's no dairy, some of the other ingredients seem a bit more dodgy to me. I've tried the brand, hoping for a reasonably paleo-approved treat, but ended up having a bad reaction to the Guar Gum in it. More details here: http://paleohacks.com/questions/4077/do-i-need-to-worry-about-the-guar-gum-in-my-coconut-milk/38227#38227 If you've been staying away from processed food for a while, you might be more susceptible to it. Also, I'm not too wild about the idea of carrageenan which has been linked with cancer. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1242073/ Also see this discussion on Paleohacks: http://paleohacks.com/questions/7095/does-carrageenan-cause-cancer#axzz1OjA3M4pz If you don't react physically to the food, in the end it's your decision where to draw the line. Sometimes I definitely miss ice cream and its hard to find one that's Paleo friendly- i'm actually considering buying my own ice cream maker! Hope this helps. :) |

We just scored a $5 cuisinart ice cream maker from a friends' yard sale, and I blended up coconut milk, vanilla, two egg yolks and added whole rasberries...it was pretty good, but I'm thinking I'll add a little stevia next time, and maybe a sweeter berry...mmmmm....blueberry season is only a month away! Every once in a while, I'll "cheat" with Larry and Luna's Coconut Bliss, but obviously, homemade is the way to go for the occasional indulgence! Superior nutrition and taste... |

Ive been thinking of picking up a cheap ice cream maker, since I figured something like this would be fairly simple to make, but I would have control over all the ingredients so I could not only do flavors I would enjoy, but make sure no industrial stabilizers or other franken foods got in there. I love being paleo and really never get cravings for anything that I have given up, except for the occasional ice cream, especially now that its warming up. |

I don't do ice cream often, but if I were to it would probably be Coconut Bliss. It's got guar gum and agave syrup in it, but at least it's dairy free and it tastes amazing. |
