Ingredients

For Vegan Sweetened Condensed Milk

  • 1 can coconut milk entire can
  • 1/4 cup honey (or agave, maple syrup, or brown rice syrup)

For Ice Cream

  • 2 cans coconut milk full fat, solids only, refrigerated at least 24 hours prior
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions

  • Make sweetened condensed milk at least 2 hours before making the ice cream.
  • Heat the entire can of coconut milk into a medium saucepan, stirring on occasion. Bring to a boil for 5 minutes, stirring and keeping a watchful eye on it. 
  • Add in the honey and reduce heat to a simmer for 25-30 minutes or until milk has been reduced by half.
  • Remove from heat and let cool down, refrigerating once at room temperature.

For ice cream

  • In a large bowl, whip together coconut milk solids until smooth and fluffy. Add in the vanilla and mix completely. 
  • Gently fold in the cooled vegan sweetened condensed milk. 
  • Pour into a small loaf pan or freezer safe container and freeze for at least an hour for optimal thickness. (see notes)

Notes

Ice cream can be enjoyed immediately, but I find it to be perfect after being frozen for 1 hour. More than a few hours and you will have to let the ice cream sit for awhile and thawing before serving.
