Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: -
Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 can coconut milk
  2. 1/2 cup raspberries
  3. 1/4 cup maple syrup
  4. 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Chill the can of coconut milk in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to separate the cream from the liquid.
  2. Remove the chilled coconut milk and carefully scoop out the thick cream layer from the top, leaving behind the watery liquid.
  3. In a blender, combine the coconut cream, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
  4. In a separate small bowl, mash the fresh raspberries using a fork to create a slightly chunky puree.
  5. Pour the coconut cream mixture into a freezer-safe container.
  6. Drizzle the raspberry puree over the coconut cream mixture and use a knife or skewer to create gentle swirling patterns, creating a ripple effect.
  7. Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for 4-6 hours, or until the ice cream reaches a firm but scoopable consistency.
  8. Remove from freezer 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the ice cream to soften slightly.
  9. Scoop into serving bowls and garnish with additional fresh raspberries if desired.

Tips

  1. Chill Your Coconut Milk Perfectly: For the creamiest texture, refrigerate the coconut milk can overnight. This helps separate the rich cream from the liquid.
  2. Blend Smoothly: When mixing coconut cream, blend thoroughly to ensure a silky-smooth base without any lumps.
  3. Raspberry Swirl Technique: When adding raspberry puree, use a gentle swirling motion with a knife to create beautiful marble-like patterns. Don't overmix, or you'll lose the beautiful ripple effect!
  4. Freezing Hack: If your ice cream becomes too hard, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping to achieve the perfect soft consistency.
  5. Storage Tip: Cover the ice cream with plastic wrap directly touching the surface to prevent ice crystals from forming and maintain its creamy texture.
