Ingredients

2 cans full-fat coconut milk, chilled
1/2 cup maple syrup or agave nectar (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Chill the Coconut Milk:
Place the cans of full-fat coconut milk in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. Chilling helps separate the coconut cream from the liquid.
Prepare the Ice Cream Base:
Open the chilled cans of coconut milk without shaking them. Scoop out the thick coconut cream that has risen to the top and transfer it to a mixing bowl.
Save the remaining coconut liquid for other recipes or smoothies.
Whip the Coconut Cream:
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the coconut cream until it becomes fluffy and smooth. This will mimic the consistency of whipped cream.
Sweeten and Flavor:
Add maple syrup or agave nectar and vanilla extract to the whipped coconut cream. Mix well until the sweetener is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Optional: Toasted Coconut:
If using toasted coconut, spread the shredded coconut on a baking sheet and toast it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown. Let it cool before adding to the ice cream base.
Combine and Freeze:
Fold in the optional toasted coconut into the coconut ice cream base for added flavor and texture.
Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container, cover it with a lid or plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until firm.
Serve and Enjoy:
When ready to serve, let the vegan coconut ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
Scoop the creamy coconut ice cream into bowls or cones.
Garnish with additional toasted coconut or fresh fruit if desired.
Delight in the tropical flavors of homemade vegan coconut ice cream!
