Ingredients
- 2 cups full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut milk, almond milk, brown sugar, and coconut sugar. Whisk until the sugars are fully dissolved.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with a small amount of the milk mixture to create a slurry.
Step 3
Add the cornstarch slurry back into the saucepan and continue to whisk constantly to avoid lumps. Cook the mixture for about 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, sea salt, and coconut oil until the oil is fully melted and incorporated.
Step 5
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to a container and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours or until fully chilled.
Step 6
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20-30 minutes.
Step 7
Transfer the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container, cover it tightly, and freeze for at least 2 hours until firm.
Step 8
Before serving, allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easy scooping.
