Ingredients
- 800 ml Coconut milk
- 200 ml Unsweetened coconut cream
- 80 g Erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.25 tsp Sea salt
- 0.5 tsp Xanthan gum
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut milk and coconut cream. Stir occasionally until the mixture is well combined and heated through but not boiling.
Step 2
Add the erythritol or monk fruit sweetener and sea salt to the warm coconut mixture. Stir continuously until the sweetener and salt have completely dissolved.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
Slowly sprinkle xanthan gum over the surface while whisking briskly to avoid clumps. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
Step 5
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until completely chilled. This step can be done overnight.
Step 6
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until the gelato reaches a smooth and creamy consistency, usually about 15–20 minutes.
Step 7
Transfer the gelato to a lidded container and freeze for an additional 2 hours to firm up before serving.
Step 8
When ready to serve, let the gelato sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to scoop.
