Ingredients

• 2 cups Full-fat coconut milk
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Cold water
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the full-fat coconut milk, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk the mixture until fully combined.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the cold water to create a slurry. Gradually pour the slurry into the saucepan while whisking to prevent lumps.

Step 3

Continue heating the mixture, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon. This should take about 8-10 minutes. Be careful not to let it boil.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature. Once cooled, transfer it to a covered container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully chilled.

Step 5

After the mixture has chilled, pour it into a freezer-safe container. Place the container in the freezer and let it freeze for about 1 hour.

Step 6

After 1 hour, remove the container from the freezer and stir the mixture with a fork or whisk to break up any ice crystals. Repeat this process every 30 minutes for the next 3-4 hours, or until the ice cream reaches your desired consistency.

Step 7

Once the ice cream is smooth and creamy, scoop it into bowls or cones and serve immediately. For firmer ice cream, let it freeze for an additional 1-2 hours before serving.
