Ingredients
- 2 cups Full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup Coconut cream
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.25 cup Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1/4 cup of water to make a slurry and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut milk, coconut cream, and granulated sugar. Stir frequently until the mixture is warm and the sugar is fully dissolved, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Add the cornstarch slurry to the coconut mixture, stirring constantly. Continue to cook over medium heat until the mixture begins to thicken and just starts to bubble, approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt, mixing well to combine.
Step 5
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, transfer it to a container, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully chilled.
Step 6
Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20 to 25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Step 7
Transfer the gelato to a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top and cover with a lid or plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up before serving.
Step 8
Scoop and serve your creamy, delicious vegan coconut gelato. Enjoy!
