Ingredients for Coconut Milk Ice Cream:

2 cans (13.5 oz each) full-fat coconut milk (chilled overnight)

½ cup maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon coconut extract (optional, for extra flavor)
1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder (for a creamier texture)
A pinch of salt

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Make the Ice Cream Base

In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 can of coconut milk and cornstarch over medium heat until smooth.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened.
Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.

Combine Ingredients
    In a mixing bowl, whisk the second can of coconut milk with maple syrup, vanilla extract, coconut extract, and a pinch of salt.
      Add the cooled thickened mixture and stir until well combined.

      Chill the Mixture

      Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until the mixture is completely chilled.

      Freeze the Ice Cream

      With an Ice Cream Maker: Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
      No-Churn Method (Without an Ice Cream Maker): Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and stir every 30 minutes for 3-4 hours to prevent ice crystals from forming.

      Final Freezing & Serving

      Let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping.
      Once thick and creamy, transfer to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.

      Tasty Variations & Add-Ins:

      Chocolate Chips or Cacao Nibs – For a chocolatey twist

      Toasted Coconut Flakes – Add extra crunch and flavor

      Fresh Fruit – Try mango, strawberries, or pineapple
