Ingredients
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 1 cup almond milk
- 3/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, almond milk, and coconut sugar. Stir over medium heat until the sugar has melted and the mixture comes to a gentle simmer.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water to create a slurry. Slowly add this to the simmering milk mixture, stirring constantly. Continue to cook for another 5-8 minutes, or until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract and sea salt to the thickened mixture. Stir well to incorporate all the flavors evenly.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature. For quicker cooling, you can transfer the mixture to a new clean bowl.
Step 5
Once cooled, cover the mixture with plastic wrap, pressing it directly against the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 2 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, usually about 20-25 minutes, or until the ice cream reaches your desired consistency.
Step 7
Transfer the churned ice cream to a lidded, freezer-safe container. Place a piece of wax paper or parchment directly on the surface before sealing. Freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Step 8
Before serving, allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to scoop. Enjoy your dairy-free salted caramel ice cream!
