Total Time: 3 hours 10 minutes
Ingredients List
- 2 cans (13.5 oz each) full-fat coconut milk
- 3/4 cup sweetener (Allulose recommended for best texture)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Coconut Milk Mixture
In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk and sweetener.
Whisk together until the sweetener is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
If using, add the vanilla extract and sea salt and stir to combine.
Step 2: Chill & Freeze
Pour the coconut milk mixture into a freezer-safe container.
Cover with a lid or plastic wrap, and place in the freezer for 3 hours.
If you want a creamier consistency, stir the ice cream every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours. This helps reduce ice crystals.
Step 3: Serve & Enjoy
Once the ice cream has frozen and firmed up, scoop and serve!
Enjoy it as is or with toppings like shredded coconut, berries, or a drizzle of melted chocolate.
Additional Notes
- Sweetener Tips: If you’re using a different sweetener, like stevia or monk fruit, make sure to adjust the quantity according to sweetness level.
- Texture: Allulose gives the best texture because it prevents ice crystals from forming, making the ice cream smooth and creamy.
- Customization: You can add cocoa powder for chocolate ice cream or swirl in your favorite nut butter before freezing.
