Instructions
Making your own Almond Milk Ice Cream at home is straightforward. Just follow these steps for a successful outcome:
1. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond milk, coconut cream, sugar (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, almond extract (if using), and salt until well blended.
2. Taste and Adjust: Taste your mixture and adjust the sweetness to your liking. Remember, it will taste slightly less sweet once frozen.
3. Refrigerate: Transfer the mixture to the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 1-2 hours. This helps enhance the flavors and improves the texture.
4. Churn: If using an ice cream maker, pour the chilled mixture into the machine and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically 20-30 minutes, or until it reaches a soft serve consistency.
5. Freeze: Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container and place it in the freezer for an additional 2-4 hours to firm up.
6. No Ice Cream Maker?: If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the chilled mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer. Stir vigorously with a fork every 30 minutes for about 2-3 hours to break up the ice crystals until firm.
7. Serve: Once the ice cream is fully frozen, scoop it into bowls or cones and enjoy!
