Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Coconut cream
- 2 cups Vegan plain yogurt
- 0.5 cup Agave nectar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Chill the bowl of your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically for about 12 hours or overnight.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut cream, vegan plain yogurt, agave nectar, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and salt. Ensure that they are well combined to create a smooth mixture.
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if desired, adding more agave syrup if necessary.
Carefully pour the yogurt mixture into your prepared ice cream maker bowl.
Churn the mixture in the ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually for about 20-30 minutes, until the mixture thickens to a soft-serve consistency.
Once churned, transfer the soft ice cream into an airtight freezer-safe container.
Smooth the top with a spatula, then press a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours, or until it reaches your desired firmness.
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
