How to make no-churn coconut ice cream
All you have to do to make this no-churn ice cream is whip up the heavy cream, mix it with the sweetened condensed milk and coconut milk, and freeze it.
After about 2 hours, when it's starting to get the consistency of soft serve ice cream, add the dulce de leche and swirl it with a butter knife. Take it back to the freezer, and wait until it freezes completely, usually about 3-4 more hours.
Other Flavors and Mix-ins
You could definitely replace the dulce de leche with other mix-ins that you'd like. The possibilities are endless!! Here are some ideas for you...
- Fruit jam
- Crushed Oreos or cookies
- Fudge
- Caramel
- Crushed candy bars
- Chocolate chips
- Sprinkles
- Fruits
- Nuts
- Brownie pieces
- Cookie dough

Tips for the best no-churn coconut ice cream
Freeze the container beforehand
This will help to avoid ice crystals and speed up the freezing process.
Wait to add the mix-ins
Because some mix-ins might be too dense, wait until the mixture gets the consistency of a soft serve ice cream (about 2 hours) before adding them. If you add them too soon they might sink to the bottom of the container.
Coconut milk x Coconut cream
There are many factors that make for a creamy ice cream, and fat content is one of them. More fat = Creamier ice cream. So, if you have access to coconut cream, use it, and your ice cream will be extra creamy since coconut cream is richer. But if you only have coconut milk, don't worry, the difference is very subtle (I noticed, but my husband didn't), and it'll be equally delicious.

📖 Recipe / Receita
No-churn coconut ice cream with Dulce de Leche
Ingredients
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup heavy cream, cold
- 11/2 cups coconut milk (or ¾ cup of coconut cream)
- ½ cup dulce de leche (add 1 tablespoon of milk or cream to thin it out if it's too thick)
Instructions
- Place a 9x5x3-inch metal loaf pan in the freezer.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and coconut milk (or coconut cream). Set aside.
- With the help of a mixer, whip heavy cream on high speed, until firm peeks are formed, about 3 minutes.
- Delicately, fold sweetened condensed milk mixture into the whipped cream, until blended.
- Transfer the mixture to the chilled loaf pan and cover with plastic wrap, touching the mixture, so no ice crystals will form on top. Freeze it for about 2 hour, or until it resembles a soft serve ice cream. Remove from freezer and add the dulce de leche by teaspoons, making swirls with a butter knife. Take it back to the freezer, covered, for about 3-4 more hours, or until completely frozen.
- Remove from freezer about 5-10 minutes before serving to make it easy to scoop.
