Thai Vegan Coconut Ice Cream image

This vegan coconut ice cream was inspired by my many trips to Thailand and is absolutely divine! One really important thing about making coconut ice cream - the base must be really well chilled before churning in the ice cream maker or the ice cream will be too soft and slushy. Try and chill it for a minimum of three or fours hours. Overnight is actually preferable for the best results. Even then, I find that the ice cream never gets to a consistency beyond that of frozen yoghurt in the machine. I like to transfer the ice cream into the freezer for a few hours to solidify it a bit more before serving. I like to add natural coconut flavoring in order to accent the coconut flavor. But it is also wonderful with vanilla extract. It is all a matter of personal preference. You could also add in more shredded coconut if you prefer a crunchier texture. You can also add in cacao powder or fruit to the mix too. But I like it just like this!

  • Stir in the coconut essence and shredded coconut and allow to cool.
  • Transfer to a bowl and chill in the fridge for at least a few hours (overnight is preferable) until really cold.

I've tried many vegan ice cream recipes, but this one is by far the best. The texture is smooth and creamy, and the flavor is out of this world. I highly recommend this recipe!
