Vanilla Coconut Milk Ice Cream Dairy Free Goodness Recipes

VANILLA COCONUT MILK ICE CREAM (DAIRY FREE GOODNESS)

Steps:

• Combine the ingredients, whisking to get the honey to combine with the coconut milk, or simply blend in a blender.
• Make into ice cream according to the directions on your ice cream maker.
• You can serve as a soft serve right away, or ripen in the freezer for a few hours and serve.

VANILLA COCONUT ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a medium-sized pot and heat over medium-low heat until sugar has completely dissolved. (Do not bring to a boil)
• Put the pot in your fridge to cool. Once it is completely cold, process it according to your ice cream maker's directions. (See the blog post for making this without an ice cream maker.)
• Either serve immediately (my favorite!) or scoop the ice cream into a container and cover with a piece of parchment paper directly on the ice cream to help prevent any ice crystals from forming.
• Store in your freezer. Allow the ice cream to sit for 10 minutes at room temperature before serving.

VEGAN VANILLA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Pour most of the coconut milk into a saucepan, reserving a splash in a small bowl for later. Add the sugar, salt and turmeric (for colour) to the pan. Cut the vanilla pod in half lengthways (if using) and scrape the seeds out of both sides with the side of the knife. Put the seeds and the pod, or vanilla paste, into the pan. Warm on a low heat for 10 mins until the sugar has melted and the mixture starts to steam.
• Mix the cornflour with the reserved coconut milk in a small bowl until smooth. Pour into the hot milk, and continually whisking, heat for another 5-10 mins until the mixture thickens to a pourable custard consistency. Strain into a bowl, and cover. Leave to cool, then chill for at least 2 hrs.
• Pour the chilled mix into an ice cream maker, and churn for 20-30 mins until you get a soft scoop ice cream. Transfer to a sealable container and freeze for up to 3 months until ready to serve. If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the chilled mix into a wide-based plastic tub or dish. Freeze for 2-3 hrs, stirring the mix every 20 mins with a fork, to break up any large ice crystals, until soft ice cream. Transfer to a smaller tub and freeze until ready to serve. You should be able to scoop the ice cream easily from the freezer, or leave for a few mins at room temperature to soften, if you need to.
