Ingredients
- 2 cups full-fat canned coconut milk
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup coconut sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup yellow cake mix (ensure it's dairy-free)
- 0.5 cup rainbow sprinkles (ensure they are dairy-free)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, almond milk, coconut sugar, and salt. Heat over medium-low heat until the mixture is warm and the sugar is dissolved, stirring occasionally.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of the warm milk mixture to form a slurry, then pour it back into the saucepan, stirring constantly.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly until it thickens slightly.
Step 4
Remove from heat and whisk in the vanilla extract and the yellow cake mix until fully incorporated and smooth.
Step 5
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely chilled.
Step 6
Once chilled, pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Step 7
In the last few minutes of churning, add the rainbow sprinkles to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the ice cream.
Step 8
Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container, smoothing the top with a spatula, and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
Step 9
To serve, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly, then scoop and enjoy!
