Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut milk, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Stir until everything is thoroughly mixed and the mixture is just about to simmer. Do not let it boil.
  2. Remove the mixture from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
  3. Once cooled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually takes about 20 minutes.
  4. During the last 5 minutes of churning, add the cinnamon roll pieces to the ice cream maker to mix them evenly throughout the ice cream.
  5. Transfer the ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight to firm up.
  6. When ready to serve, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before scooping into bowls.

Helpful Tips

Tips:

  • If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can pour the mixture into a shallow container, freeze for 1 hour, then stir vigorously. Repeat this every 30 minutes until you achieve an ice-cream-like consistency.
  • For an additional flavor hit, drizzle some melted vegan caramel sauce over your scoops before serving.

Storage Instructions:

Store the ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Let it thaw at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.

Ingredient Substitutions:

  • Oat milk can be used instead of almond milk for a nut-free version.
  • Agave syrup can be used instead of maple syrup if preferred.
