Ingredients
- 2 cans additive-free coconut milk see notes
- ¾ cup honey
- ⅔ cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
- 1 pinch sea salt
- ½ teaspoon Turmeric for color - see notes
Instructions
- Add the coconut milk, honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt to a medium-sized pot over medium-high heat. Warm the coconut milk until it is almost simmering.
- Carefully pour the warm cream into your blender. Start your blender on low speed then slowly increase the speed to high. Hold your hand over the lid to make sure that the steam from the cream doesn't pop the lid off. Blend on high for one minute then refrigerate until completely cold, at least 4 hours.
- Once the cream is cold, whisk in the turmeric.
- Churn the ice cream until it resembles soft serve.
- Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-proof container (we like to use a loaf pan) and freeze until firm.

Notes
- We use turmeric to make the ice cream a beautiful yellow color. Don't worry, as long as you add it to cold cream (not when it's hot!) then you won't taste it at all. We use the same trick in our coconut lemon energy balls.
