Ingredients
Scale
Ice Cream Base
- 400 g coconut whipping cream (refrigerated overnight)
- 100 g sweetened condensed coconut milk
Flavoring
- 200 g vegan caramel sauce (plus extra for serving and swirling)
Instructions
- Whip the Coconut Cream: Add the chilled coconut whipping cream into a large mixing bowl and use an electric whisk to beat it for a couple of minutes until thick and creamy.
- Combine Condensed Coconut Milk: Pour in the sweetened condensed coconut milk and whisk for another minute to thoroughly combine it with the whipped coconut cream, creating a smooth base.
- Incorporate the Vegan Caramel Sauce: Gradually add the vegan caramel sauce in 2 to 3 increments, whisking well after each addition. Continue whisking to fully integrate all ingredients. For a marbled texture, gently swirl some extra caramel sauce through the mixture using a spatula.
- Transfer and Freeze: Pour the ice cream mixture into a loaf pan or container and cover tightly with a lid, plastic wrap, or parchment paper to prevent freezer burn. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
- Prepare to Serve: Remove the ice cream from the freezer about 15 minutes before serving to allow it to soften slightly for easier scooping. Serve topped with extra vegan caramel sauce if desired.
- Storage: Store the ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer where it will remain fresh for up to two months.
Notes
- Refrigerate the coconut whipping cream overnight to ensure it whips up well.
- You can use store-bought vegan caramel sauce or make your own for a homemade touch.
- Allowing the ice cream to thaw slightly before serving makes scooping easier and enhances the texture.
- Covering the ice cream tightly while freezing helps prevent ice crystals and freezer burn.
