Preparation Steps
1
Slice the vanilla bean lengthwise and use the tip of a knife to scrape out the seeds.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth. This will be used to thicken the ice cream later.
3
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk and almond milk. Add the maple syrup and vanilla seeds. Heat over medium heat, but do not boil.
4
Pour in the cornstarch mixture and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the ice cream base has slightly thickened (about 5-7 minutes). Do not boil!
5
Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours to chill thoroughly and allow the flavors to meld.
6
If you have an ice cream maker, pour the chilled mixture into it and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. If you don't, pour the mixture into a shallow container and freeze, stirring with a fork every half hour to prevent ice crystals from forming.
7
Before serving, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly and become easier to scoop. Garnish with fresh fruit or vegan chocolate shavings, if desired.
