Nondairy peach ice cream

A tasty substitute for cow’s milk, coconut milk is thick, rich and creamy — adding oomph (and vitamins and minerals) to sweet treats. This recipe comes from San Diego chef Rich Sweeney, a “Top Chef” competitor who recently held a virtual cooking demo for Sharp Grossmont Hospital. He uses a coconut milk base to create a tasty, nondairy ice cream alternative.

This easy, nondairy dessert recipe gets its natural sweetness from your favorite frozen fruit.
