• Prep Time: 15 minutes (plus 4 hours freezing time)
• Cook Time: 5 minutes
• Total Time: 4 hours 20 minutes
• Servings: 6
• Skill Level: Easy

• 2 cups full-fat coconut milk
• 1 cup almond milk
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp salt

1. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the coconut milk, almond milk, and sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
2. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean pod and add them to the mixture along with the pod itself for added flavor. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
3. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it’s warm and the sugar is completely dissolved. Do not let it boil.
4. Remove the vanilla bean pod and let the mixture cool to room temperature before transferring it to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 2 hours, or until completely cold.
5. Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 20-30 minutes.
6. Transfer the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container, smooth the top, and cover. Freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm.
7. When ready to serve, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before scooping.

• For a creamier texture, ensure the mixture is very cold before churning.
• Use a high-quality vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
• If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can pour the mixture into a shallow dish, freeze, and stir every 30 minutes until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

Store any leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Let it thaw briefly before serving again.

This vegan vanilla bean ice cream pairs beautifully with fresh berries, a warm slice of apple pie, or a handful of roasted nuts. For a delightful beverage pairing, consider serving it with a fragrant herbal tea or a light, sparkling water with a twist of lemon.
