3. Add the coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and salt to the blender, and blend again until the mixture is creamy and fully combined.
4. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding a bit more maple syrup, if needed.
5. Pour the blended mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (typically 20-25 minutes).
