Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 cups Almond Milk (unsweetened)
  • 1 cup Full-fat Coconut Cream
  • 1/3 cup Maple Syrup or Agave Nectar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice or Apple Cider Vinegar

Optional Mix-ins and Flavor Variations

  • 2 tablespoons Cocoa Powder (for Chocolate Almond Bliss)
  • 1/2 cup Fresh or Frozen Berries (for Berry Burst)
  • 1/2 cup Mango or Pineapple Chunks (for Tropical Twist)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg, Pinch of Cardamom (for Spiced Delight)
  • 1/4 cup Toasted Almond Slivers or Walnuts (for Nutty Crunch)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Almond Milk Base: Whisk together 2 cups almond milk, 1 cup coconut cream, and 1/3 cup maple syrup or agave nectar until fully combined and smooth. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon lemon juice or apple cider vinegar to enhance flavor balance.
  2. Chill the Mixture: Pour the mixture into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. This step thickens the base and helps achieve a smoother texture during churning.
  3. Add Flavorings and Mix-ins: After chilling, gently stir in your chosen flavor additions such as cocoa powder, fruit purees, or spices, ensuring even distribution without overmixing.
  4. Churn the Ice Cream: Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. If no ice cream maker is available, freeze the mixture in a shallow container and stir vigorously every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals.
  5. Freeze Until Firm: Transfer the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container, smooth the top, cover tightly, and freeze for 4-6 hours or until firm enough to scoop.

Notes

  • Use full-fat coconut cream for optimal richness and creaminess.
  • Ensure the mixture is thoroughly chilled before churning to improve texture.
  • Do not skip sweeteners as almond milk alone is mild; adjust sweetness to taste.
  • Add crunchy nuts or fruit chunks just before freezing for textural contrast.
  • Consider adding natural thickeners like tapioca starch or arrowroot powder for better scoopability.
