Peppermint Coconut Ice Cream (Keto, Paleo)

Peppermint Coconut Ice Cream (Keto, Paleo)

I have a small obsession with mint.  So does my whole family… so something like this would be dangerous if it were not so flipping healthy!  It takes only about 5 minutes to whip up and then you have to let it chill in the fridge for a couple of hours, churn it in an ice cream maker, and then let chill in the freezer for a couple more hours.  But it is worth the wait, I promise.  I get BPA free coconut milk from Whole Foods and flavor it with NOW Mint Chlorophyll from Wellevate and dōTERRA Peppermint, which is the cleanest tasting peppermint I have tried for flavoring desserts, chocolates and hot drinks!

Give it a shot and let me know what you think!

Drizzle with keto dark chocolate or top with keto chocolate chips!
