Ingredients

• 2 cups Full-fat coconut milk
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.75 cup Maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Arrowroot powder
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 Pinch of sea salt
• 1 cup Amarena cherries in syrup, coarsely chopped
• 3 tablespoons Amarena cherry syrup

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the coconut milk and almond milk over medium heat until well combined. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the arrowroot powder with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Gradually whisk the slurry into the simmering milk mixture, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens to a custard-like consistency (about 3-5 minutes).

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Let the custard base cool slightly, then transfer it to a coverable container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until thoroughly chilled.

Step 4

Once the base is chilled, prepare your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Pour the mixture into the ice cream maker and churn until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

Step 5

Gently fold in the coarsely chopped Amarena cherries and the Amarena cherry syrup until evenly distributed through the ice cream.

Step 6

Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 3 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.

Step 7

Allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before serving for easier scooping. Enjoy your creamy, dairy-free Amarena cherry ice cream with extra cherries on top, if desired.
