Banish winter blues with a tropical lime ice cream
So, I’m back from another unintended hiatus. Things have gotten sorta busy for me, but that doesn’t mean I don’t yearn to be in the kitchen concocting new treats and sharing them with you. In honor of my hopefully more consistent return, I am taking you on another trip to the Caribbean. (Especially needed thanks to Phil’s prediction)
Remember these Lime Chocolate Chunk Cookies? Well, I have the absolute perfect complement today – Lime Ice Cream! The two together – the perfect treat! I had planned on making a blizzard – like this one, but then, spur of the moment, I opted for a simple sandwich. It was a great decision! This cream is even delicious with plain chocolate chip cookies.

Definitely got an ice cream maker for Christmas and have been turning all the things into ice-cream, so I am all over this girl! Looks yum-o-rama!
Thank you so much, Taylor! I love creating new ice cream flavors 🙂
1.I Love how easy this is! Only four ingredients, and they’re all vegan?!?
2. No ice cream maker needed! Yes!
3. This looks absolutely incredible!
Thanks Faith! I’m having a blast creating new ice creams that are vegan and don’t require an ice cream maker. Can’t wait to share more with you 🙂
Looks delicious! I just wish it would actually transport me to the warmer weather 🙂 Good to have you back!
Thank you, Laura!
Oh! Oh! Please! Pick me to go to the Caribbean! Pick me! 🙂
We’re bracing for ANOTHER winter storm tomorrow night, and this recipe right here just helped me remember that summer will eventually return. Ahhhh … so incredibly fresh and light! You totally rock! With only a few ingredients and not a ton of hand-on time … I may love on this until I can wear my flip flops everyday! 🙂
Thank you so much for commenting, Gretchen! If I could send you a bowl of this, I would 🙂
oh my LIME, this looks wonderful!
Thank you, Diane!
Ooh I bet this tastes amazing! I love frozen lime-flavored desserts. I’ve never used coconut milk for ice cream before but I think I most definitely should. 🙂
You should, Alyssa! Coconut milk makes a super rich and creamy ice cream 🙂
Lime ice cream? I have never heard of such a thing. I am totally intrigued!
It’s amazing, Julianne! Thanks for visiting 🙂
YUM! I love lime and love ice cream. This looks and sounds awesome!
Thank you so much, Chelsea!
I am in love with this. It could be my very best friend!
Thanks Jocelyn. It is quite a treat 🙂
This lime ice cream would definitely banish the winter blues 🙂
It most certainly does. Thanks for visiting, Ashley!
Lime is the best!! I love this. And I am seriously intrigued by that lime chocolate cookie.
Thanks so much, Karen! The cookie and ice cream were both amazing and went together phenomenally. Thanks for visiting 🙂
This sounds so delicious! Lime and lemon are my favourite flavours- just so fresh. The lime alone sounds just amazing- and served with that chocolate cookie- pure bliss! 🙂
Thank you so much! The cookie was a great addition to the ice cream.
Yum, I love lime and this ice cream sounds amazing wit the coconut milk! It would definitely help give me warm thoughts of the Caribbean 🙂
