Servings: 8
Calories: 310kcal
Ingredients
- 14 oz. full fat coconut milk canned
- ⅓ cup sugar cane sugar, granulated sugar, or turbinado sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2.5 tbsp culinary grade matcha powder
- 14 oz. full fat coconut cream canned
- 2 tbsp vodka
Instructions
- Put the bowl of your ice cream maker in the freezer.
- Add the coconut milk, sugar, and vanilla extract together in a pan and heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture just barely simmers and the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Add a few tablespoons of the mixture to a small bowl and sift in the matcha powder. Whisk to remove all the clumps.
- Add the matcha mixture back into the coconut milk mixture and whisk to combine.
- Now add in the coconut cream and vodka. Mix gently but thoroughly then transfer to the refrigerator to chill overnight.
- The next day, add your chilled ice cream to your ice cream maker. Churn (stir setting) until it is the thickness of soft serve ice cream, 20-25 minutes.
- Transfer the ice cream to a container that you can safely freeze, and cover the top with a lid or parchment paper.
- Freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours, and then you're ready to scoop serve! After freezing overnight, let it thaw ~10 minutes before scooping.
Notes
I do not recommend substituting another non-dairy milk for the coconut milk in this recipe. There are many different non-dairy kinds of milk that you can use in non-dairy ice cream, but each one will yield a different texture due to the different fat and water levels. This recipe was made specifically for full fat canned coconut milk and cream.
Best to consume as soon as possible, and up to one week from churning because it continues to firm over time.
Just like most store-bought vegan ice creams, this recipe requires a thaw for ~10 minutes before scooping.
