Why I am so fascinated with recipes that fit both of these restrictive diets is beyond me. Perhaps, it is the challenge of combining vegan and paleo. In this case, the dual dietary compliance was more happenstance than plan.
Maple Walnut Ice Cream is a staple flavor here in Rhode Island. It seemed a natural choice to convert into a paleo recipe since maple syrup is one of the few sweeteners many Paleo followers will indulge in & nuts are acceptable. Swapping the heavy cream for coconut milk resulted in the recipe also being vegan.
This does melt a little faster than typical ice cream, and is really more like an ice milk.

What does it mean to follow the manufacturer's instructions? Where would I see these instructions?
