Equipment
- high-powered blender such as a Vitamix or Blendtec
Ingredients
- 2 (13.5-ounce) cans full-fat coconut milk refrigerated overnight
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 ½ tablespoons vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- To a blender, add the coconut milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Purée until smooth.
- Follow the instructions on your ice cream maker to create creamy vegan gelato.
- Enjoy immediately or transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze until ready to serve. If frozen, allow the gelato to thaw at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to achieve a softer texture.
Notes
- Mix It Up: Create any flavor variety by adding in fresh or dried fruit, nuts, seeds, extracts, and any other mix-ins (such as vegan candy)
- Storage Tips: Place in an airtight container and press a piece of parchment paper on top to prevent ice crystals. Keep it in the coldest part of your freezer, usually the back, and try to eat it within a week for the best taste and texture. When you're ready to enjoy it again, let it sit out for 5–10 minutes to soften before scooping.
