Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup plant-based cream (optional, e.g., cashew or oat cream)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Golden Milk Base: In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk, turmeric powder, freshly grated ginger, cinnamon, black pepper, and maple syrup. Heat gently over medium-low heat, stirring often to allow the spices to infuse and the sweetener to dissolve completely. Remove from heat once the mixture is fragrant and slightly thickened.
  2. Cool and Add Vanilla: Allow the golden milk base to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, stir in the vanilla extract and add the optional plant-based cream for extra richness. This step ensures a creamy texture when frozen.
  3. Chill Before Freezing: Cover the mixture and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to chill thoroughly. This helps the ice cream freeze faster and become smoother.
  4. Freeze in an Ice Cream Maker or Pan: If using an ice cream maker, pour the chilled mixture into the machine and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually 20-30 minutes). For a no-churn method, pour the base into a shallow container and freeze, stirring vigorously every 30 minutes until the ice cream is creamy and scoopable.
  5. Store and Serve: Transfer the finished ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for a few additional hours to firm up before serving. Enjoy straight from the freezer or let it soften slightly for the perfect scoop.

Notes

  • Use full-fat coconut milk for a silky, creamy texture.
  • Fresh grated ginger provides a brighter, more vibrant flavor than ground ginger.
  • Don’t skip black pepper as it activates the health benefits of turmeric and balances the flavor.
  • Chilling the base thoroughly before freezing improves the creaminess.
  • Adjust maple syrup to your preferred level of sweetness before freezing.
  • If using the no-churn method, stir regularly to prevent ice crystals and maintain smoothness.
