    Vegan ice cream exists, unless you count coconuts as mammals (since they have hair and produce milk).

      Coconuts produce water. Coconut milk is made by pureeing coconut meat and mixing it with cononut water.

      Coconuts don’t produce anything “milky” on their own. Coconut watet is clear.

        Now I’m thinking about what it would be like to puree beef with cow’s milk. I’m sure the steak shake already exists somewhere in the States.

        I mean… that’s kinda a sliding scale. You can get coconut milk by just squeezing it out of coconut flesh, I’ve seen it done before. Saying coconuts don’t produce milk is kinda like saying oranges don’t produce juice.

      You can just make sorbet from fruits without causing harm to innocent coconuts.
