COCONUT VANILLA CUSTARD ICE CREAM - LOW CARB AND DAIRY-FREE



Coconut Vanilla Custard Ice Cream - Low Carb and Dairy-Free image

This recipe makes a decadent, low carb, and dairy-free ice cream that is really out of this world! You will love this even if you don't love coconut. My husband (who has no dietary restrictions and is an ice cream addict) told me that this is the best that he's ever had. Each 1/2 cup serving contains 6.4 grams of net carbohydrates, and 24.2 grams of healthy fat from the coconut (gotta love those medium chain triglycerides)!

Categories     Ice Cream

Time 3h15m

Yield 1/2 cup, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 cups of canned regular unsweetened coconut milk (use 2 full cans plus the solid part of the 3rd can of coconut milk)
1/4 cup high quality unrefined, organic coconut oil
1/2 cup Stevia Truvia
1 pinch salt
5 large egg yolks
2 teaspoons good vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan set over medium-low heat, whisk together the coconut milk, coconut oil, truvia, and salt. Bring the mixture just to a boil.
  • While the coconut mixture is heating, whisk the egg yolks until pale and aerated.
  • Once the coconut mixture has come to a slight boil, whisk about 1/3 of the mixture into the yolks.
  • Add another 1/3 of the mixture to the yolks, whisking quickly, then return the combined mixture to the saucepan.
  • Using a wooden spoon, stir the mixture constantly over low heat until it thickens slightly and coats the back of the spoon, about 2-3 minutes. Do not boil or the eggs can coagulate.
  • Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer and bring to room temperature. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Cover and refrigerate overnight in the lowest part of your refrigerator.
  • Follow your ice cream makers instructions to freeze your ice cream. With my Cuisinart, I pour the mixture into the frozen freezer bowl and let it mix until thickened, about 20 minutes. This is a good time to serve it. If you have leftovers or will not eat it right after fabricating, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and place in the freezer. When you do serve it, let it sit out for about 20 minute to soften slightly.

MAPLE WALNUT ICE CREAM (DAIRY FREE)



Maple Walnut Ice Cream (Dairy Free) image

A delightful cool treat that is healthier than regular ice cream but still has a creamy rich flavor. I like to break my over ripe bananas into chucks before freezing them so that they are ready to go when making banana bread or ice cream.

ANN 'S ALMOND CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM DAIRY FREE



Ann 's Almond Chocolate Ice Cream Dairy Free image

I made Horchata De Almendra (Almond Horchata) milk from here on zaar to make this non dairy ice cream! Great for the lactose intolerant! And full of almond flavor. Be sure to use sweetened almond milk as in these 2 recipe #230449 or recipe #229086 because there is no additional sugar in this recipe. Strain it well so it is smooth. or if not it will have a little texture. The term 'coat a spoon' is a technique used mainly as a way to test when an egg-based custard or sauce is done. A spoon, usually wooden, is placed in the custard and, when the spoon is raised, the film of custard on the back of the spoon will stay in place even when you draw a line with your finger through the middle of the custard.

Make and share this Almond Ice Cream (Dairy Free) recipe from Food.com.

Provided by UmmBinat

Categories     Frozen Desserts

Time P1DT15m

Yield 1 1/2 Pints, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb blanched almond
8 cups water
2 1/2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
1 cinnamon stick

Steps:

  • In a blender or food processor, very finely grind the almonds. Use the pulse function and watch carefully. You do not want the nuts to release too much oil, which will turn them into nut butter.
  • In a heavy saucepan, combine the water, sugar, lemon zest, cinnamon stick, and half of the almonds.
  • Place over high heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
  • Decrease the heat to medium and add the rest of the almonds, continuing to stir.
  • As soon as the mixture boils again, remove from the heat and let cool completely.
  • Transfer the cooled mixture to an ice-cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. If you do not have an ice-cream maker, transfer the mixture to a 4-cup container (a glass, stainless-steel, or plastic bowl will do) and place in the freezer for about 1 hour, or until half frozen.
  • During this hour, remove the ice cream from the freezer every 5 to 10 minutes and beat it with a whisk to prevent ice crystals from forming.
  • After the first hour, return the ice cream to the freezer and leave it there for at least 2 hours, or until fully frozen.
  • When made by either method, transfer the finished ice cream to an airtight container and store in the freezer. It will keep for up to 1 week.
  • When ready to serve, remove the ice cream from the freezer about 20 minutes in advance to allow it to soften slightly. Spoon into small dishes to serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ice cream maker: There are two main types of ice cream makers: manual and electric. Manual ice cream makers are less expensive, but they require more effort to use. Electric ice cream makers are more expensive, but they are easier to use and produce creamier ice cream.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly affect the quality of your ice cream. Use fresh milk, cream, and sugar. Avoid using artificial sweeteners, as they can leave an unpleasant aftertaste.
  • Chill your ingredients before using them: This will help the ice cream freeze more quickly and smoothly.
  • Don't overfill your ice cream maker: The ice cream maker needs room to churn the ice cream. If you overfill it, the ice cream will not freeze properly.
  • Churn the ice cream until it is thick and creamy: The churning process incorporates air into the ice cream, which makes it light and fluffy. Churn the ice cream for at least 20 minutes, or until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container: Once the ice cream is churned, transfer it to a freezer-safe container. Cover the container tightly and freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours before serving.
