Hello Loves! The GF Gidget household has been decidedly dearth of desserts as of late. I honestly hadn’t noticed until GF Guy’s forlorn face emerged from our freezer. We were completely out of coconut milk ice cream, muffins, quick breads,…. You get the picture. (I also think he has become a bit spoiled! hahaha) To make up for my dessert provider fail, I decided to create a new coconut milk ice cream flavor for him.
GF Guy like his ice cream very frozen (not soft serve), so I woke up early to make it so it would be frozen by dinner time. The ice cream flavor du jour turned out to be delicious! GF Guy was happy and all is now right in the world!

In honor of my birthday I have decided to ask birthday questions this week.
Birthday Question “du jour”: What is the best birthday gift you have ever received?
The best one I can remember was getting my car detailed. I HATE, LOATHE, AND DESPISE cleaning my car. I was so happy to have someone else do it! hahaha

Oh my gosh, cutest picture ever!! I need to get myself an ice cream maker.
I've been thinking about coming up with a gf/df recipe for mint chocolate chip ice cream and now you've saved me the trouble, Karina. Thank you! Now I can just get right to making the ice cream. 🙂 I also have a support group member who was looking for a gf/df version, so I'll send your link to her right away.Oh, I totally agree on the best gift! Happy upcoming BD!Shirley
Thanks for all the great comments you leave on my blog….sorry I dont make my rounds over here as often as I wish but just know your sentiments are appreciated!Drinking coffee and websurfing for 30 mins…dorky?! Hardly!!!!!! I do that too and cherish every last second (and drop of coffee:))Enjoy your Sunday!!!!xoxo
I made this Karina (with a few variations) and it came out great. Son said, "Wow! This is good." :-)Thanks!Shirley
Would one of you try this? I no longer have a working ice cream maker. I want someone to use HEMP milk and Coconut milk mixed together. Hemp is very creamy. I tried TEMPT ice cream and it is delicious.Please let me know how it turns out while I look for another maker.
