Serves: about 1 quart
Ingredients
  • 3¾ cups + ¼ cup original or vanilla coconut milk beverage, divided
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • Pinch salt
  • 2½ tablespoons non-GMO cornstarch
  • Unsweetened toasted shredded or flaked coconut, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
  1. Whisk together the 3¾ cups milk beverage, sugar, and salt in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Place the pan over medium heat, and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining ¼ cup milk beverage and cornstarch until smooth. Whisk the cornstarch slurry into the mixture in your saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.
  3. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature. Once completely cool, cover and refrigerate for at least 3 to 4 hours, or up to 24 hours.
  4. Freeze the mixture in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Pack the coconut ice milk into a freezer-safe container and freeze for 3 to 4 hours for hard-packed.
  5. Remove the container from the freezer and let the ice milk soften for 15 minutes, or as needed to scoop. Serve topped with a sprinkle of toasted coconut, if desired.
