Vegan Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe (Homemade) Ingredients

– 2 cups of full-fat coconut milk (or organic cashew milk for a lighter option)

– 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)

– ½ a cup of organic maple syrup (or agave syrup, adjust to taste)

– 2 tsp of organic vanilla extract (or 1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped)

– 1 tbsp of cornstarch (or arrowroot powder, for thickening)

– Pinch of salt

Vegan Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe (Homemade) Cooking Instructions

1. Mix base ingredients:

– In a medium saucepan, whisk together full fat coconut milk, unsweetened almond milk, organic maple syrup, organic vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

2. Thicken the mixture:

– In a small bowl, mix 1 tbsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp of the cold plant-based milk to create a slurry.

– Add the slurry to the saucepan and whisk well.

3. Cook the mixture:

– Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly (about 3-5 minutes). Do not let it boil.

– Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.

4. Churn the ice cream:

– Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually 20-30 minutes).

– If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze. Stir every 30 minutes for 2-3 hours to break up ice crystals. 5. Freeze and serve:

– Transfer the churned ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until firm.

– Let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping.

Tips

– For a richer flavour, use canned coconut cream instead of coconut milk.
– Add mix-ins like vegan chocolate chips, crushed nuts, or fruit before freezing.
– If using a vanilla bean, split it lengthwise, scrape out the seeds, and add both the seeds and pod to the mixture while heating. Remove the pod before churning.
