Ingredients
- 800 ml Full-fat canned coconut milk
- 150 g Granulated sugar
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 60 ml Water
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water to form a smooth slurry and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut milk, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir frequently until the mixture begins to simmer.
Step 3
Once simmering, add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan. Whisk continuously until the mixture thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, transfer it to a lidded container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until thoroughly chilled.
Step 6
Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Step 7
Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 1-2 hours for a firmer texture, or serve immediately for a softer consistency.
Step 8
Enjoy your nut-free creamy vegan vanilla ice cream as-is or with your favorite toppings!
