Maple Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

This luxurious ice cream showcases the deep flavor of real vanilla beans paired with Tennessee maple syrup. Made with coconut cream, it's naturally dairy-free but incredibly rich and satisfying.

Ingredients

  • 2 cans full-fat coconut milk (or 1/2 cup Coconut Cream Powder + 2 cups hot water)
  • 1/2 cup TN Maple Syrup
  • 2 Vanilla Beans
  • 1/4 tsp Redmond Real Salt
  • 1 tbsp Arrowroot Powder

*Bolded ingredients are products we typically carry at Tare Bulk Foods.

Directions

  1. Split vanilla beans lengthwise and scrape out seeds. Add both seeds and pods to coconut milk in a saucepan.
  2. Heat mixture over medium heat until just steaming. Remove from heat and let steep for 30 minutes.
  3. Remove vanilla bean pods. Whisk in maple syrup, salt, and arrowroot powder until smooth.
  4. Chill mixture completely, at least 2 hours. Churn in ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions, about 20-25 minutes.
  5. Transfer to freezer-safe container and freeze until firm, at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

  • Save the used Vanilla Beans pods to make vanilla extract or vanilla sugar.
  • If using Coconut Cream Powder, mix with hot water first and let cool before proceeding.
  • Drizzle with extra TN Maple Syrup before serving for added sweetness.
