In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, almond milk, coconut sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well until the sugar is dissolved.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Do not let it come to a boil.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Gradually add this slurry to the simmering coconut milk mixture, stirring constantly.
Continue to cook for 2-3 more minutes, or until the mixture thickens to a custard-like consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours or until completely cold.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes.
Transfer the churned ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for an additional 4 hours to firm up.
Scoop and enjoy this creamy, cinnamon-infused vegan treat!
