Ingredients

Scale

Instructions

  1. Place the bowl of the ice cream maker in the freezer the night before.
  2. Blend all the ingredients until well combined.
  3. Pour into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat stirring frequently. Once it is boiling, keep whisking for 2-3 minutes until thick.
  4. Remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl or container. Place in the refrigerator until completely cool (about 4 hours minimum).
  5. Once the mixture is cool, churn in the ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  6. Serve immediately or transfer to a shallow dish and freeze for 2-3 hours until firm enough to scoop.
  7. Enjoy!
  8. It will keep in the freezer for a few days, but become less creamy with time.

Notes

*I used a gum-free variety, but with or without guar gum is fine. Shake the can before using so you get both the cream and the water. **Any kind of non-dairy milk from a carton is fine. Or you can use light canned coconut milk or homemade almond/nut milk for an even richer ice cream. ***You can sub arrowroot or cornstarch, but I find tapioca to yield the best texture. ****Personally I find 2 tbsp to be the perfect amount, but use more/less depending on how sweet you want it. You can use other liquid sweeteners instead, or even coconut sugar. I like to add 2 scoops of collagen peptides (not vegan), but that is completely optional and won’t affect the flavor or taste at all.
