Hey all you vegans out there, this dairy free Piña Colada Ice Cream might be just what you’re looking for on a hot summer day. With a mere 3 ingredients (coconut milk, agave and pineapple), this simple vegan ice cream recipe will appeal to moms too. I like the quick and easy dimension of the recipe and my boys love the flavor –they’ve been lapping it up all summer.
After I posted my Coconut Chocolate Chip Ice Cream recipe (which contains eggs) a few weeks ago, I had numerous requests for a vegan ice cream made with coconut milk, so it’s high time I posted this. Enjoy!

We arrived home from the Little League Regionals on Wednesday after our loss in the semi-finals of the tournament. The boys had an amazing run, winning every game in their pool (my older son, age 12 plays on the team). The boys played live on ESPN Tuesday night (the semi-finals) and lost by one run in that game.
Here is our team video which one of the dads on our team made:

The video shows so much in so little time! Those boys did a great job!
Thanks for this luscious-sounding ice cream recipe. I’m hoping it will work in a regular blender, too.
