VEGAN VANILLA ICE CREAM



Vegan Vanilla Ice Cream image

This vegan ice cream is actually easier and faster to make than the cream-and-egg version: There's no extended time spent over the stove awaiting the moment the custard thickens and no reason to worry that you'll scramble the eggs. Infusing the milk with vanilla bean adds great flavor but can be skipped in a pinch. Try it with some of my favorite mix-ins, listed below.

Time 2h50m

Yield about 3 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cans full-fat coconut milk
6 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 vanilla bean, split and seeds removed and reserved
4 teaspoons arrowroot powder
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Add the coconut milk, maple syrup and vanilla bean pod and seeds to a medium pot, and whisk to combine. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Dissolve the arrowroot in 1 tablespoon water. Slowly drizzle it into the coconut milk mixture, whisking constantly. As soon as the mixture returns to a simmer, remove it from the heat and whisk in the vanilla extract. Transfer the mixture to a shallow bowl, remove the vanilla bean pod and set aside until the mixture stops steaming, then refrigerate until completely cool.
  • Churn the ice cream according to your ice cream maker's instructions (this will take 20 to 30 minutes). Serve immediately, or freeze in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
  • For vegan mint chocolate chip ice cream: As the ice cream churns, add 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract (or more to taste). Once the mixture is ready, add 1/3 cup chopped dark chocolate, and continue churning until combined.
  • For vegan strawberry ice cream: Chop 2 cups fresh strawberries, place them in a bowl and add 2 teaspoons each coconut sugar and maple syrup. Stir to combine. Set aside to macerate while the ice cream churns. You can also crush the strawberries slightly with a fork to create a chunky sauce. Once the ice cream is churned, pour in the strawberry mixture and churn until combined.
  • For vegan almond butter swirl ice cream: As soon as the ice cream is churned, drizzle in 1/3 cup almond butter and continue churning for a few seconds to distribute.

Here's what you need: cashews, water, organic sugar, cocoa butter, coconut oil, salt, coconut milk, vanilla extract, vanilla bean, ice cream maker

Provided by Merle O'Neal

Categories     Desserts

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups cashews, ½ cup (65 g) if just making enough for the ice cream
¼ cup water
1 ¼ cups organic sugar
4 tablespoons cocoa butter
4 tablespoons coconut oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup coconut milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 vanilla bean
ice cream maker

Steps:

  • Place the cashews in a large bowl. Add enough room-temperature water to cover the cashews. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and soak overnight.
  • Place the bowl of an ice cream machine in the freezer overnight.
  • Add the cashews and soaking water to a blender. Blend, starting on low speed and increasing to high until smooth and frothy, about 40 seconds. Strain into a large bowl through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth.
  • Reserve 1 cup (240 ml) of cashew milk for the ice cream and store the rest in the refrigerator for up to a week for another use.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the water and sugar and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is clear, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the cocoa butter, coconut oil, and salt. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
  • In a blender, combine the cashew milk and coconut milk. Blend on low speed. With the blender running, pour in the sugar mixture to emulsify. Continue until well-blended, about 2 minutes.
  • Pour the mixture into a large metal bowl and mix in the vanilla extract. Scrape in the seeds from the vanilla bean and whisk to combine.
  • Chill the base in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • Add the chilled base to the ice cream maker and churn for 1 hour, or as long as the machine requires, until thick and creamy.
  • Transfer the ice cream to a loaf pan and freeze overnight.
  • Scoop and serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!
