Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Chill: Ensure your coconut milk/cream is well chilled. If using an ice cream maker, make sure the bowl is fully frozen according to manufacturer instructions.

  2. 2

    Blend: In a blender, combine the chilled coconut milk/cream, oat milk, maple syrup/agave, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until completely smooth and combined.

  3. 3

    Churn (Option 1 - Ice Cream Maker): Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

  4. 4

    Freeze (Option 2 - No Churn): Pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Freeze for 1 hour. Remove and whisk vigorously, breaking up ice crystals. Repeat this process 2-3 more times every 30-45 minutes until firm but scoopable.

  5. 5

    Serve: Scoop the ice cream into bowls. Offer toppings *on the side* or allow the individual to add their preferred ones. Focus on the fun and treat aspect.

    Pro Tip: Presenting toppings in small, separate bowls empowers choice and reduces overwhelm.
