Ingredients

• 2 cups Full-fat canned coconut milk
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Arrowroot powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Pecans
• 2 tablespoons Coconut sugar
• 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, almond milk, and maple syrup. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is warm but not boiling.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the arrowroot powder and 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Slowly whisk the slurry into the warmed milk mixture, ensuring there are no lumps.

Step 3

Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, for about 5-7 minutes or until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.

Step 4

Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then transfer it to a lidded container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until well chilled.

Step 5

While the ice cream base chills, prepare the glazed pecans. In a skillet over medium heat, combine the pecans, coconut sugar, coconut oil, and ground cinnamon. Stir frequently, allowing the sugar to melt and coat the pecans evenly, about 3-4 minutes. Be careful not to burn them. Remove from heat and spread the glazed pecans on a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool completely.

Step 6

Once the ice cream base is chilled, churn it in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. This typically takes 20-25 minutes.

Step 7

When the ice cream is nearly done churning, roughly chop the cooled glazed pecans and add them to the ice cream maker in the last few minutes of churning.

Step 8

Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container. Cover it tightly and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm it up further.

Step 9

When ready to serve, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before scooping. Enjoy your creamy, non-dairy glazed pecan ice cream!
