Ice Cream Minus the Cream Part

Jen's Fakin' It Coconut Ice Cream:

Ingredients:
* 2 cans of coconut milk
* 1 can of coconut cream (it's normally found in the drink section, used for making pina coladas)
* 6 egg yolks
* 2/3 cup of sugar

Mix the coconut milk, coconut cream and sugar in a saucepan on medium until the sugar has dissolved. Beat the egg yolks until fluffy. Place the yolks in a new saucepan and add 1/4 of the coconut milk mixture and beat. Add remaining coconut milk and heat on medium/low for 10 minutes. Do not allow to boil. Refrigerate overnight to thicken. Prepare the ice cream in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Freeze. Make approximately 12 small servings (or 4 Jack-size helpings).

Variations:
Try adding a mashed banana and dates to the mixture during freezing or cashews. I bet a lot of other goodies would work too.
