Recipe Summary
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 15 minutes (plus freezing time)
- Total Time: 6 hours 30 minutes
- Servings: 8
- Skill Level: Intermediate
Ingredients
- 2 cans of full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup of almond or soy milk
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup of brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt flakes (more for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons of cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons of water
- 1/2 cup of coconut cream
- 1 cup of vegan caramel sauce
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, almond or soy milk, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously until the sugars are fully dissolved and the mixture is steaming, about 5 minutes.
- Mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Slowly whisk it into the hot milk mixture until fully incorporated. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt flakes.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Once chilled, whisk in the coconut cream until fully combined. Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Layer the churned ice cream with ribbons of vegan caramel sauce in a freezer-safe container. Use a knife or spatula to gently swirl the caramel through the ice cream.
- Cover the container and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until the ice cream is firm enough to scoop.
- Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes. Scoop into bowls and sprinkle with additional sea salt flakes.
Helpful Tips
Variation: For a nut-free version, use oat milk instead of almond or soy milk. You can also replace the cornstarch with arrowroot powder if you prefer.
Storage: Store the ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
This vegan salted caramel swirl ice cream pairs beautifully with fresh berries or a warm brownie. For drinks, consider serving it with a steaming cup of jasmine tea or a tall glass of sparkling water with a slice of lemon.
