Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 ml Full-fat coconut milk
- 200 ml Coconut cream
- 150 ml Maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the full-fat coconut milk and coconut cream. Stir well over medium heat until the mixture is smooth and homogenized.
Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt to the saucepan. Stir occasionally to combine the ingredients thoroughly.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water together until it forms a smooth slurry with no lumps.
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan, stirring continuously to prevent any clumps from forming.
Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly. This should take about 5-10 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature. Then, transfer it to the refrigerator and chill it for at least 2 hours or overnight for the best results.
Once the mixture is thoroughly chilled, pour it into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
After churning, transfer the ice cream to a lidded container, cover it, and place it in the freezer for at least 3-4 hours to firm up.
Allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping and serving for perfect creaminess.
