Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 ml Full-fat coconut milk
- 100 g Granulated sugar
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 80 g Brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Cold water
- 0.25 tsp Sea salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, granulated sugar, and sea salt over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar fully dissolves, about 3-4 minutes. Do not let the mixture boil.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the cold water until thoroughly combined to create a slurry.
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan while stirring constantly. Continue cooking on medium heat for 4-5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool completely to room temperature before chilling it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (preferably overnight).
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon swirl mixture. Set aside.
Once the ice cream base is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically 20-25 minutes.
During the last 5 minutes of churning, slowly add the cinnamon and brown sugar mixture. Avoid fully mixing it in to preserve the swirl effect.
Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container, layering and gently folding if more swirl is desired. Cover the surface with parchment paper and seal the container.
Freeze the ice cream for 4-6 hours until firm. When ready to serve, let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping.
