Begin by preparing your dairy-free brownies according to your preferred recipe, ensuring they are completely cooled before use. Cut into small cubes, about 1 inch in size. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the coconut milk, almond milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and salt over medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of the almond milk until smooth. This will help thicken your ice cream base.
Once the milk mixture in the saucepan begins to warm, add in the cornstarch slurry. Stir continuously until the mixture begins to thicken slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Avoid boiling.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the mixture into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until completely chilled.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes.
Halfway through the churning process, add dairy-free chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
When the ice cream is almost done, fold in the dairy-free brownie cubes, ensuring even distribution.
Transfer the finished ice cream to a freezer-safe container. Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to make scooping easier. Enjoy your dairy-free brownie ice cream!
