Ingredients
- 800 ml Full-fat coconut milk
- 120 ml Maple syrup (or agave syrup for a lighter sweetness)
- 1 pod Vanilla bean pod (or vanilla extract)
- 2 tablespoons Arrowroot powder (or cornstarch)
- 60 ml Almond milk (or any unsweetened plant-based milk)
- 1 pinch Salt (optional, to enhance flavor)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk the arrowroot powder with the almond milk until smooth. Set this slurry aside—this will be used to thicken the ice cream base.
Step 2
If using a vanilla bean pod, split the pod lengthwise and scrape out the seeds using the back of a knife. If using vanilla extract, you can skip this step for now.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, maple syrup, and the scraped vanilla seeds or vanilla extract. Add the empty vanilla pod to the mixture as well for extra flavor.
Step 4
Heat the mixture over medium heat, whisking frequently, until it begins to steam. Do not let it boil.
Step 5
Once the mixture is steaming, whisk in the arrowroot slurry. Continue cooking, whisking constantly, for about 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon. Remove the saucepan from heat and discard the vanilla pod if used.
Step 6
Let the ice cream base cool to room temperature, then transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until thoroughly chilled.
Step 7
Once the mixture is chilled, churn it in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This typically takes about 20-25 minutes. The mixture will resemble a soft-serve consistency at this point.
Step 8
Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Step 9
Freeze for an additional 2-4 hours to firm up before serving. Allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping for the creamiest texture.
Step 10
Serve your Dairy-Free Vanille Eis on its own, or pair it with fresh fruit, dairy-free chocolate sauce, or crushed nuts for a delightful dessert.
