Ingredients
Ice Cream Base:
1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
1 cup almond milk (or plant-based milk of your choice)
3/4 cup coconut cream
1/2 cup pure maple syrup (or agave syrup)
1/2 cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Butter Pecan Swirl:
1 cup pecans, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons vegan butter (or coconut oil)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions
Toast the Pecans: In a skillet, melt the vegan butter over medium heat. Add chopped pecans, stirring frequently until fragrant. Add brown sugar and maple syrup, cooking until caramelized (about 3-4 minutes). Set aside to cool.
Mix Ice Cream Base: In a large bowl, combine coconut milk, almond milk, and coconut cream until smooth.
Sweeten the Base: Add maple syrup and coconut sugar, whisking until fully combined.
Add Vanilla: Mix in vanilla extract for added flavor.
Prepare Ice Cream Maker: Ensure your ice cream maker is ready, usually requiring the bowl to be frozen for 12-24 hours.
Churn the Ice Cream: Pour the mixture into the ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (20-30 minutes) until it resembles soft serve.
Add Pecan Swirl: Once at soft-serve consistency, fold in the cooled butter pecan mixture. Alternatively, add it during the last few minutes of churning.
Freeze: Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Serve: Allow the ice cream to soften at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping. Serve with your favorite toppings like vegan caramel or chocolate chips.
Store: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for 1-2 weeks. Let it sit out for 10-15 minutes to soften if too hard.
Customization
Feel free to substitute pecans with other nuts like walnuts or hazelnuts, or add chocolate chips for extra indulgence.
