Prep Time: 15 minutesmins
Total Time: 15 minutesmins
Servings: 6
Ingredients
1can, 13.5 oz whole coconut milk (often in ethnic aisles of grocery stores)
Flavor Suggestions: 1/2 cup diced strawberries or other fruit, vegan chocolate chips, sprinkles, or 1 tsp vanilla extract.
Instructions
Blend: In a blender, add all ingredients and blend on high until thick and creamy, 1-2 min. Transfer mixture to an airtight container and chill 2-4 hours.
Churn: Place chilled mixture into an ice-cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions (might only need half the amount of suggested churn time, as it thickens pretty quickly.) If using add-ins, gently add them during last 5 minutes of churning.
Freeze: May serve immediately for a frozen custard-like texture that's ultra creamy, smooth, and soft. Otherwise, transfer ice cream to an airtight container and freeze 30-60 minutes for a firmer texture. If frozen much longer, it will need thaw time at room temp before serving (actual thaw time depends on your room temp.)
Notes
Extra creamy almond milk is highly recommended, for richer/creamier results. Look for certified vegan xantham gum, which is dairy-free.This ice cream is best enjoyed shortly after churning; it's soft and velvety right out of the ice cream maker and can be served immediately. If preferred, 30 minutes in the freezer will firm ice cream up a bit. If freezing longer, please allow ice cream to soften a bit at room temp before serving.If you enjoyed this recipe, please come back and give it a rating. ♡
