Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 ml Full-fat canned coconut milk
- 150 g Granulated sugar
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 60 ml Water
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water to form a smooth slurry and set aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut milk, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir frequently until the mixture begins to simmer.
Once simmering, add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan. Whisk continuously until the mixture thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, transfer it to a lidded container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until thoroughly chilled.
Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 1-2 hours for a firmer texture, or serve immediately for a softer consistency.
Enjoy your nut-free creamy vegan vanilla ice cream as-is or with your favorite toppings!
