Vegan Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (GF)
This vegan vanilla ice cream is creamy and has a wonderful gentle flavour that you will not get tired of. Made in an ice cream machine and with real vanilla that leaves beautiful black speckles.
Ingredients
- 120 g cashews
- 120 ml (1/2 cup) evaporated coconut milk chilled
- 200 ml (3/4 cup + 4 tsp) spring water chilled
- 160 g condensed coconut milk chilled
- 1/16 tsp salt
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) whiskey
- 2/3 tsp vanilla powder
Instructions
- Make sure to put the ice cream maker container in the freezer at least 12 hours before you start making the ice cream. For best result chill in the freezer also the container in which you will store the ice cream.
- Add all ingredients for the ice cream in a blender and mix well together. Make sure the mixture is really smooth.
- For best results chill the mixture in the refrigerator for a couple of hours or overnight before proceeding.
- Take the mixture out of the refrigerator and give it a stir. When the ice cream machine is running, pour the mixture into the ice cream machine. Churn according to the directions.
- After ice cream is made in the ice cream machine, take it out and transfer it to a freezer-safe container. Seal it and put it in the freezer for a couple of hours so that the ice cream hardens even more.
- Serve this vanilla ice cream with vegan apple crumble or caramelised apples, make a milkshake, banana split or affogato al caffe with it, eat it as it is or with a drizzle of vegan hot fudge sauce or vegan Dulce de Leche on top.
Notes
*You can use regular water instead of spring water if not available.
*Don't soak the cashews beforehand in water since they will absorb some of this additional water which will throw off the ratio of water in the ice cream and the ice cream will not be as creamy anymore.
*Give evaporated coconut milk and condensed coconut milk a good stir before using.
*Prep time does not include chilling time in the refrigerator, churning time in the ice cream machine and time that ice cream needs in the freezer to harden.
