Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup Coconut cream
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.25 cup Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1/4 cup of water to make a slurry and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut milk, coconut cream, and granulated sugar. Stir frequently until the mixture is warm and the sugar is fully dissolved, about 5 minutes.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the coconut mixture, stirring constantly. Continue to cook over medium heat until the mixture begins to thicken and just starts to bubble, approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt, mixing well to combine.
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, transfer it to a container, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully chilled.
Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20 to 25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the gelato to a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top and cover with a lid or plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up before serving.
Scoop and serve your creamy, delicious vegan coconut gelato. Enjoy!
