Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 ml Coconut milk
- 250 grams Dairy-free yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
- 120 ml Maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut milk, maple syrup, and salt. Stir well and heat until hot but not boiling.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of cold water to form a slurry. Pour the slurry into the saucepan and whisk continuously for about 3-4 minutes, until the mixture thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool for about 10 minutes.
Once cooled, transfer the mixture to a blender. Add the dairy-free yogurt, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and well combined.
Pour the blended mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap.
Freeze the mixture for at least 4 hours, or until solidified. For the creamiest texture, stir the mixture every 30 minutes during the first 2 hours to break up ice crystals, or use an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Allow the ice cream to thaw at room temperature for about 10 minutes before scooping. Serve and enjoy your creamy, dairy-free yogurt ice cream!
