Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh blueberries
- 2 cans (13.5 oz each) Full-fat coconut milk
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Rinse the blueberries under cold water and drain well.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, maple syrup, and lemon juice. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the blueberries release their juices and begin to soften.
Use the back of a spoon to gently mash some of the blueberries for a chunkier texture, or use an immersion blender for a smoother puree. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
Add the cooled blueberry mixture to the coconut milk base and stir until fully combined.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually 20-25 minutes, until thick and creamy.
Transfer the churned ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for at least 3-4 hours, or until firm.
Allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping and serving. Enjoy your dairy-free blueberry ice cream!
