Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Coconut milk, full-fat
- 1 cup Almond milk
- 1 cup Coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.5 cup Roasted almonds, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of full-fat coconut milk and 1 cup of almond milk. Heat over medium heat until it begins to steam, but do not let it boil.
While the milk mixture is heating, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water in a small bowl to make a slurry.
Once the milk mixture is steaming, stir in 1 cup of coconut sugar, ensuring it dissolves completely.
Stir the cornstarch slurry into the milk mixture, continue to heat on medium, and whisk constantly until it thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat, and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 0.5 teaspoon of salt.
Let the mixture cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes, then transfer it to a container and refrigerate until completely chilled, about 2-3 hours.
In another saucepan, heat 0.5 cup of maple syrup over medium heat until it begins to bubble slightly, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the roasted almonds and 0.5 teaspoon of sea salt, cooking for another 1-2 minutes before removing from heat. Allow this mixture to cool to room temperature.
Once both mixtures are cool, pour the base ice cream mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions.
In the last few minutes of churning, gradually add in the maple almond crunch mixture.
Once churned, transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
Scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy your delicious Dairy-Free Salted Caramel Crunch Ice Cream.
