Ingredients
- 2 cups Canned full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup Coconut cream
- 0.75 cup Light brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Vegan butter
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the canned full-fat coconut milk, light brown sugar, vegan butter, and sea salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture starts to thicken and the sugar is completely dissolved, about 8-10 minutes.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut cream and cornstarch until smooth.
Step 3
Once the sugar mixture is ready, slowly whisk in the cornstarch mixture, ensuring no lumps form. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens further and resembles pudding, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then transfer to a covered container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely chilled.
Step 6
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually taking about 20 minutes.
Step 7
Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for another 2-4 hours, or until it reaches the desired consistency.
Step 8
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
