Vegan Vanilla Ice Cream Super Creamy
This unique ice cream has several advantages: fewer ingredients, more vanilla, and more lecithin, which creates a creamier texture. Take it out of the freezer just a few minutes before serving: it is soft and creamy with a delicious vanilla flavor.
Ingredients
- 2½ cups Coconut milk 18% fat
- ¾ cup sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 1-2 vanilla pods or two teaspoons vanilla extract
- 6 Tablespoon refined coconut oil
- 2 Tablespoon liquid sunflower lecithin or six Tablespoon granulated lecithin
Instructions
Pre Preperation
- Put the ice cream bowl in the freezer for at least 24 hours.
- The ice cream mixture must be very cold when placed in the ice cream machine.
- Heat coconut milk, sugar, salt and vanilla sticks in a small saucepan until the sugar melts. Remove from the heat.
- Take out the vanilla pods, open them lengthwise with a small, sharp knife, take out the seeds with a small spoon and add them to the pot. Add coconut oil and liquid lecithin and mix well.
- Transfer the mixture to a blender and process for about twenty seconds. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for several hours, preferably overnight. The mixture must be very cold.
- Transfer the mixture to the ice cream machine. Run for about half an hour until the mixture thickens.
- Transfer to a sealed container and place in the freezer.
For Serving
- Take the ice cream out of the freezer a few minutes before serving; you can drizzle hot chocolate sauce on top (recipe in notes).

Tip: Do not throw away the empty vanilla pods! Instead, dry them and place them in the sugar container. You will get fragrant vanilla sugar.
