Have you tasted fig ice cream before? We have never tried it before, but we’re willing to try anything labeled “ice cream”. This ice cream recipe calls for  coconut milk instead of cow milk, which is a plus in our home.  No eggs as well, so perfect for vegan diets.

A perfect time of the year to eat pineapple ice cream is-ALL YEAR! This smooth and creamy pineapple ice cream will have you coming back for more. Don’t worry if you don’t like coconut, you won’t even taste it. Though, it would be cool if it tasted like frozen Pina Colada. 😉

Now, if you are looking for the perfect gluten-free topping for any of these ice cream dishes, try these delicious Brownie Thins from Free For All Kitchen.

 

These do not taste like some gluten free snacks-you know, like cardboard.  The crunchiness of these brownie thins makes them as fun to eat as they are good.
