    Chai Coconut Ice Cream

    Chai coconut ice cream with sauce 1

    Vanilla swirls with spices such as cinnamon and cardamom in this coconut milk ice cream. The sprinkle of unrefined salt brings out both the sweetness of the maple syrup and the rich flavors of the spices. It’s very much like a favorite cup of chai in a frozen, creamy form. I’ll understate my joy in this recipe by saying, “ I love it.”

    This ice cream can be enjoyed by anyone, but it certainly is a boon to the dairy-free person. Besides butter, dairy isn’t an everyday occurrence in our household as most of us have happier digestive systems without it. I went through a grieving process at first when we took out dairy. But the sadness didn’t last once I learned how to put coconut oil, coconut milk, and coconut cream to good use. Coconut truly is a gift to everyone, and a special one to those who can no longer have dairy.

    Chai Coconut Ice Cream

    Just like a cup of chai, this recipe is easily adaptable to your favorite chai spices and you can tinker easily with spice amounts. Cardamom is one of my favorite spices, but not everyone has it in their cupboard. It’s more than worth seeking out; just make sure you don’t over measure, as it’s a potent, beautiful spice.

    Ingredients

    • 28 ounces coconut milk
    • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
    • 1 teaspoon ground ceylon cinnamon
    • ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
    • ⅛ teaspoon cardamom
    • ⅛ teaspoon whole cloves
    • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
    • ½ cup Grade A dark maple syrup

    Instructions

    • If you own a large blender, blend all of the ingredients until smooth. Otherwise simply place in a large bowl and whisk well.
    • Follow the instructions on your ice cream maker to freeze your ice cream (I always add just a couple of minutes to the time listed for coconut milk ice cream). It generally takes about 20 minutes. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you could consider trying one of these methods.
