Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can coconut milk
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
Instructions
- Chill the coconut milk can in the refrigerator overnight to separate the thick cream from the liquid.
- Scoop out the solid coconut cream from the top of the can into a large mixing bowl, discarding the watery liquid underneath.
- Add almond milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and maple syrup to the coconut cream. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- In a separate small bowl, mix almond flour with a tablespoon of the liquid mixture to create a soft cookie dough consistency.
- Fold the vegan chocolate chips into the cookie dough mixture, reserving some for topping.
- Pour the coconut milk base into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions, typically 20-25 minutes.
- During the last 5 minutes of churning, gradually add small chunks of the prepared cookie dough into the ice cream.
- Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container, sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight to achieve a firm, scoopable consistency.
- Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly.
Tips
- Chill Your Coconut Milk: For the best texture, make sure to chill your coconut milk overnight. This allows the cream to separate, giving your ice cream a rich and creamy base.
- Mix Thoroughly: When combining the coconut cream with almond milk and other ingredients, whisk until completely smooth. This ensures that every scoop of ice cream is perfectly blended and delicious.
- Customize Your Cookie Dough: Feel free to add your favorite nuts or dried fruits to the cookie dough for a unique twist. Experimenting can lead to delightful new flavors!
- Churning Tips: Make sure your ice cream maker bowl is completely frozen before pouring in the mixture. This will help achieve the perfect consistency and prevent the ice cream from becoming too soft.
- Freezing Time: For the best texture, allow your ice cream to freeze for at least 4 hours. If you can wait overnight, you’ll be rewarded with an even firmer scoop!
- Serve with Style: Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. This makes it easier to scoop and enhances the overall experience!
