I decided today to make ice-cream from coconut cream, to demonstrate that there are an endless amount of ways to make ice-cream vegan (plus, I ran out of bananas!). Usually I don't like using coconut cream, as the taste necessitates the need to add sugar to the ice-cream, something that isn't needed in ice-cream made from banana, as the banana is a natural sweetener. So keep in mind that for ice-cream made from coconut cream, you will need to add a sweetener: whether it be maple syrup, agave nectar, sugar or something else.
You will need:
1x 400ml can of coconut cream
1 cup of raspberries
Optional: 2 tbsp of sweetener
2. Add the raspberries to the cream and combine.
3. Here is where personal preference comes into play: taste the mixture and see if you think it needs sweetener. I added 2 tbsp of maple syrup which made the taste better. Add sweetener until it reached the desired taste.
4. Pour into a metal tray, cover in glad wrap and place in a freezer. Whisk every 30 minutes until mixture thickens and is ready to serve.
Take it outside and enjoy the sunshine!
