Easy Coconut Lime Ice Cream + Video
This no churn Easy Coconut Lime Ice Cream is creamy, sweet, tangy, and perfectly tropical. Add soda for an amazing ice cream float! No ice cream maker needed!
As March draws near, I typically go crazy sharing “green” recipes for St. Patrick’s Day, which usually equates to lime recipes because I’m a lime fanatic! I love limes in desserts, soda, water, you name it! So today’s recipe is for Coconut Lime Ice Cream!
I’ve made this coconut ice cream before without the lime and it’s really good that way, but I wanted to try it with the addition of lime because I love that flavor combination. I think I like it even better with the lime, but you really can’t go wrong either way!

Easy Coconut Lime Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 2 cups (473 ml) heavy whipping cream
- zest of 1 lime
- ¼ cup (59 ml) lime juice
- 15 oz (425 g) can Cream of Coconut, (NOT coconut milk or coconut cream — I use Coco Lopez or Coco Real — find it by the alcoholic mixers)
- 1 tsp coconut extract
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream with the lime zest until stiff peaks, about 3 ½ minutes on high speed.
- Fold in the lime juice, cream of coconut, and coconut extract until mixed well. (Microwave the cream of coconut in a bowl for 10-15 seconds if it’s too solidified, but not so long that it gets hot and deflates the whipped cream. Whisking it separately helps too.)
- Pour the ice cream mixture into a 2-quart freezer safe container.
- Freeze 6 hours or until firm; freezing overnight is best. Store in the freezer.

Can i substitute half and half for heavy cream? What amounts do i need to use ? Eagerly await a response. Thank in advance. Kindly not use my email for no other purposes but this.
Unfortunately half and half will not whip like heavy cream does. It needs to be heavy cream for this recipe.
This looks really yummy! Also, what is the name of that mixer? I’ve never seen anything like it!
Hi Trudy! It’s a Bosch mixer. The only one I knew growing up. Our family has had ours for about 30 years and it’s still going strong! It’s super powerful for breads, and you can make huge batches of cookie dough.

What kind of mixer is that?
It’s a Bosch. Very old model, but still going strong after 25+ years!
What brand of mix was used in video?
I used Coco Lopez Cream of Coconut.
Wow this looks great! I will definitely have to try this! x
