Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup Coconut cream
- 1 cup Coconut sugar
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl, stirring until smooth to create a slurry. Set aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, mix the coconut milk, coconut cream, coconut sugar, and maple syrup. Heat the mixture, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
Once the mixture starts to steam, add the cornstarch slurry. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt.
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature before transferring it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to fully develop the flavors.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the churned ice cream into a lidded container and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Serve scoops of the vegan salted caramel ice cream and enjoy a rich and creamy dessert.
