Equipment

  • Ice Cream Machine

Materials

  • 2 15 oz cans of coconut cream
  • 150 g (3/4 cup) sugar
  • 490 g (2 cups) non-dairy milk like soy, oat, or pea milk.
  • 30 g (1/4 cup) cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla paste
  • a pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Add the coconut cream, sugar, cornstarch, milk, and vanilla paste to a pot and whisk together. Turn on heat and heat gently while whisking. Bring it to a boil and cook until thick and can coat the back of a spoon.
  • Add the vanilla extract.
  • Pour the mixture into a heat-safe container and cover with plastic wrap (make sure it touches the surface to prevent a skin). Place in the fridge and let cool completely.
  • Pour your mixture into the ice cream machine chamber and churn until soft serve consistency. Scoop into a container or loaf pan and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.
