Ingredients
- 1 14-ounce can full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Start by whisking together the cornstarch and a quarter cup of almond milk in a small bowl until smooth. Set this mixture aside for later use.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, remaining almond milk, sugar, and sea salt. Warm the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan while stirring continuously. Keep the heat on medium, and continue to cook the mixture until it thickens. This should take about 8-10 minutes. Be sure to stir regularly to prevent any lumps from forming.
- Once the mixture has thickened, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let it cool down for about 30 minutes.
- Pour the cooled mixture into an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- After the mixture has chilled, churn it in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Once churned, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
