Ingredients
- 800 ml Full-fat coconut milk
- 200 ml Coconut cream
- 150 ml Maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the full-fat coconut milk and coconut cream. Stir well over medium heat until the mixture is smooth and homogenized.
Step 2
Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt to the saucepan. Stir occasionally to combine the ingredients thoroughly.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water together until it forms a smooth slurry with no lumps.
Step 4
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan, stirring continuously to prevent any clumps from forming.
Step 5
Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly. This should take about 5-10 minutes.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature. Then, transfer it to the refrigerator and chill it for at least 2 hours or overnight for the best results.
Step 7
Once the mixture is thoroughly chilled, pour it into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Step 8
After churning, transfer the ice cream to a lidded container, cover it, and place it in the freezer for at least 3-4 hours to firm up.
Step 9
Allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping and serving for perfect creaminess.
