Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 ml Full-fat coconut milk
- 200 ml Coconut cream
- 60 ml Raw honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of sea salt
- 30 grams Shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1 tablespoon Arrowroot powder
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the arrowroot powder with cold water to create a slurry. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, coconut cream, raw honey, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Place over medium heat, whisking frequently.
Continue to whisk and heat the mixture until it begins to simmer. Do not bring it to a full boil.
Once simmering, remove the saucepan from the heat and gradually whisk in the arrowroot slurry. This will thicken the mixture slightly.
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to a blender and blend on high speed for 30 seconds. This will ensure the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Pour the blended mixture into a container, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until well chilled.
After chilling, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Add the shredded coconut during the final minutes of churning.
Once the gelato reaches a soft-serve consistency, transfer it to a freezer-safe container and freeze for an additional 2-3 hours, or until firm.
Allow the gelato to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to make scooping easier. Enjoy your Paleo Coconut Gelato!
