Ingredients
- 800 ml Full-fat coconut milk
- 100 g Granulated sugar
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 80 g Brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Cold water
- 0.25 tsp Sea salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, granulated sugar, and sea salt over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar fully dissolves, about 3-4 minutes. Do not let the mixture boil.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the cold water until thoroughly combined to create a slurry.
Step 3
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan while stirring constantly. Continue cooking on medium heat for 4-5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool completely to room temperature before chilling it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (preferably overnight).
Step 5
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon swirl mixture. Set aside.
Step 6
Once the ice cream base is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically 20-25 minutes.
Step 7
During the last 5 minutes of churning, slowly add the cinnamon and brown sugar mixture. Avoid fully mixing it in to preserve the swirl effect.
Step 8
Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container, layering and gently folding if more swirl is desired. Cover the surface with parchment paper and seal the container.
Step 9
Freeze the ice cream for 4-6 hours until firm. When ready to serve, let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping.
