Vegan Ice Cream: Coconut Milk and Walnuts Base

I put together a few ideas from other recipes to create this simple base for ice cream. Once you have the base, you can add any toppings or flavorings that you want. The one pictured is a simple vanilla flavor with hazelnuts. The coconut milk gives quite a bit of flavor to this creamy treat. The walnuts in the recipe are crucial. Once they are pureed into the coconut and almond milk, they make the ice cream stay creamy. You will need an ice cream maker to make this. Dont go out and pay for an electric one. I bought a manual one for $5 at a Value Village (local discount store). The entire process is so easy, and only takes 15 minutes. Once u pour the mixture in, u only turn it a few time every 3-4 minutes. 10-15 minutes later you have creamy ice cream. And it is soo much cheaper to make it than to buy that some of those gross ones at the store.
