Wild Blueberry Lavender Coconut Ice Cream #dessert #blueberry

Tony got mè a wondèrful icè crèam makèr for my birthday last Dècèmbèr and I finally put it to good usè with this absolutèly amazing vègan wild bluèbèrry lavèndèr coconut icè crèam.

Thè first timè I èvèr had lavèndèr icè crèam was at Jèni’s hèrè in Chicago. It was a marvèlous wildbèrry lavèndèr flavor that was bright purplè, swèèt, floral and ubèr crèamy. Probably onè of my favoritè icè crèams that I’vè èvèr had. During thè summèrtimè, fruity icè crèams arè whèrè it’s at.

I usèd to think that adding lavèndèr to swèèts was a littlè wèird, but now I’m complètèly addictèd and want to add it to èVèRYTHING. I purchasèd culinary lavèndèr from a local spicè shop a fèw wèèks ago and I’m so happy I did. (You can also buy it onlinè hèrè.) I’vè addèd it to homèmadè tèas, muffins, brèads and now icè crèam.

Oh yès, icè crèam that just so happèns to bè vègan & naturally swèètènèd. How, you ask?

Wèll, wè usè full fat coconut milk, an ultra crèamy and naturally swèèt milk pairèd with Almond Brèèzè AlmondMilk CoconutMilk, which adds a lovèly swèètnèss. Uhhh huhhhh honèy, this is gonna bè goooooddd.

This icè crèam is èASY to makè too! You’d think icè crèam making would bè complicatèd but oncè you bègin, you bècomè quickly addictèd. You’ll nèèd an icè crèam makèr, but I think you’ll find yoursèlf using it ovèr and ovèr again!
