Vanilla Ice Cream

Ingredients

• 1 cup (8 oz) coconut milk

• 1 cup (8 oz) almond milk, unsweetened

• 1 vanilla bean or 2 tbsp pure vanilla extract

• 2 tbsp maple syrup (or 1/8 tsp liquid stevia if following restricted diet)

Method

• Pour the coconut and almond milk into a large bowl. If using the vanilla bean, cut in half then scrape out the seeds and add to the mixture. Alternatively, pour in the vanilla extract. Add the stevia or maple syrup then mix thoroughly.

• Pour the vanilla mixture into your prepared ice cream machine and then follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

To Serve

• Once the ice cream is set, you can serve it immediately (for a soft serve style ice cream) or place in the freezer to harden up (if you prefer a more solid ice cream texture). This ice cream is best eaten at the time of making, as ice crystals can form once completely frozen, and it will lose its creamy texture.
