Ingredients
- 28 ounces full-fat coconut milk
- 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.33 cup date paste
Directions
Step 1
Start by placing both 13.5-ounce cans of full-fat coconut milk into a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the unsweetened shredded coconut and sea salt to the saucepan, stirring occasionally, until the coconut milk begins to simmer.
Step 3
While the mixture heats, prepare your date paste if not using store-bought. This can be done by blending pitted dates with a small amount of warm water until smooth.
Step 4
Once the coconut milk mixture reaches a gentle simmer, remove the saucepan from the heat.
Step 5
Stir in the date paste and vanilla extract, ensuring everything is well incorporated into a smooth mixture.
Step 6
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature before covering it and placing it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to chill.
Step 7
Once chilled, process the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches the texture of soft-serve ice cream.
Step 8
Transfer the gelato to a freezer-safe container and freeze for an additional 2 hours or until firm enough to scoop.
Step 9
Serve the coconut gelato with a garnish of toasted coconut flakes if desired.
