Coconut, Caramel & Pecan Dairy-free Ice Cream
Prep time: 5 mins
Cook time: 10 mins (plus chilling time)
Serves: 8
Ingredients:
- 2 x 400ml cans full-fat coconut milk
- 3 egg yolks
- 4 tbsp coconut sugar or caster sugar
- 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract
- 50g of toasted and chopped pecans
Method:
Step 1: Start by whisking the coconut milk until smooth and measure 600ml and pour into a saucepan and heat until just steaming. Meanwhile whisk the egg yolks with 3 tbsp sugar and the vanilla extract. Slowly add the hot milk onto the yolks, whisking constantly.
Step 2: Wipe the saucepan clean and pour in the coconut and egg mixture. Cook over a medium heat, making sure to stir for 5-6 minutes until you have a thin custard. Strain and leave to cool completely, then add to an ice cream maker and churn.
Step 3: Now you need to make your caramel, start by pouring the remaining coconut milk and sugar in a saucepan and then add a pinch of salt. Boil for 3 minutes until it has the consistency of double cream. Let cool, before swirling the caramel and chopped pecans through the ice cream mix. Cover with cling film and freeze.
