Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 ml Coconut milk (full-fat)
- 200 ml Coconut cream
- 100 ml Maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the full-fat coconut milk and coconut cream. Use a whisk to stir them together until smooth and well incorporated.
Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt to the coconut mixture. Whisk again to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and reaches a soft-serve consistency.
If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow freezer-safe container and place it in the freezer. Every 30 minutes, remove the container and stir the mixture vigorously with a fork or whisk to break up ice crystals, repeating for about 2-3 hours or until it achieves a soft-serve texture.
After churning, transfer the soft ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 3-4 hours until firm. For best results, allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before scooping.
Serve and enjoy your creamy vegan coconut ice cream!
