Ingredients:
1 can (14 oz) of full-fat coconut milk
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or 2 vanilla beans
1/4 cup raw cashew butter
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
Instructions:
- The night before, put the ice cream maker bowl in the freezer. This is a crucial action!
- Additionally, the night before, combine the coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a food processor.
- If using vanilla beans, spread them out on a chopping board, make a long cut down the middle, then use a paring knife to scrape out the seeds.
- Blend until thoroughly blended after being included in the blender.
- The mixture should be chilled overnight in the refrigerator. This is a crucial step since without it, your ice cream won’t crystallize, especially if the weather is hot.
- Pour the ice cream mixture into the frozen ice cream bowl the following day, cover it with the lid, and start the churning process. It could take 20–60 minutes, depending on your ice cream maker.
- Place soft serve ice cream in a lidded container and freeze for an additional hour or so. Let defrost for 5–10 minutes before serving.
