I have a question.

Because Kidz Cook this summer is once again ice cream all summer long, I was wondering...

could you substitute coconut milk for cow's milk when making homemade ice cream? I mean, soy milk doesn't seem to have the right amount of fat (and, tangent, apparently the fat in coconut milk is very easy for babies to digest, if you were curious - add that to my list of perfect foods!) to taste really yummy.

I don't think you can do a straight substitution in most recipes because of the test it would impart, however it seems like some Asian ice cream recipes use coconut milk instead of regular milk. Here is one of the coconut ice cream recipes that uses just coconut milk :-)

What collectonian said. I find it goes really well in mango icecream.
