Homemade Soy Vanilla Ice Cream Recipes

THE BEST VEGAN VANILLA ICE CREAM RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Place the cashews in a large bowl. Add enough room-temperature water to cover the cashews. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and soak overnight.
• Place the bowl of an ice cream machine in the freezer overnight.
• Add the cashews and soaking water to a blender. Blend, starting on low speed and increasing to high until smooth and frothy, about 40 seconds. Strain into a large bowl through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth.
• Reserve 1 cup (240 ml) of cashew milk for the ice cream and store the rest in the refrigerator for up to a week for another use.
• In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the water and sugar and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is clear, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the cocoa butter, coconut oil, and salt. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
• In a blender, combine the cashew milk and coconut milk. Blend on low speed. With the blender running, pour in the sugar mixture to emulsify. Continue until well-blended, about 2 minutes.
• Pour the mixture into a large metal bowl and mix in the vanilla extract. Scrape in the seeds from the vanilla bean and whisk to combine.
• Chill the base in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Add the chilled base to the ice cream maker and churn for 1 hour, or as long as the machine requires, until thick and creamy.
• Transfer the ice cream to a loaf pan and freeze overnight.
• Scoop and serve immediately.
• Enjoy!

HOMEMADE SOY VANILLA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Pour all the ingredients into an ice cream maker.
• Follow the instructions on your ice cream maker, and put it in the freezer. You can store it in any container (I used plastic).

VANILLA SOY ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Put the eggs yolks, sugar, and corn starch into a bowl; whisk the mixture together.
• Heat the soy milk; slowly pour the hot soy milk into the mixture while continuing to beat.
• Add the vanilla extract.
• Gently heat the mixture until it thickens.
• Let the mixture cool in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours.
• Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker; make ice cream following the instructions of the machine.
• Note: I'm not sure exactly how much ice cream this yields, but I made it in my 1 1/2 quart ice cream maker and there was room to spare!

VEGAN VANILLA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Add the coconut milk, maple syrup and vanilla bean pod and seeds to a medium pot, and whisk to combine. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Dissolve the arrowroot in 1 tablespoon water. Slowly drizzle it into the coconut milk mixture, whisking constantly. As soon as the mixture returns to a simmer, remove it from the heat and whisk in the vanilla extract. Transfer the mixture to a shallow bowl, remove the vanilla bean pod and set aside until the mixture stops steaming, then refrigerate until completely cool.
• Churn the ice cream according to your ice cream maker's instructions (this will take 20 to 30 minutes). Serve immediately, or freeze in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
• For vegan mint chocolate chip ice cream: As the ice cream churns, add 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract (or more to taste). Once the mixture is ready, add 1/3 cup chopped dark chocolate, and continue churning until combined.
• For vegan strawberry ice cream: Chop 2 cups fresh strawberries, place them in a bowl and add 2 teaspoons each coconut sugar and maple syrup. Stir to combine. Set aside to macerate while the ice cream churns. You can also crush the strawberries slightly with a fork to create a chunky sauce. Once the ice cream is churned, pour in the strawberry mixture and churn until combined.
• For vegan almond butter swirl ice cream: As soon as the ice cream is churned, drizzle in 1/3 cup almond butter and continue churning for a few seconds to distribute.

SOY VANILLA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Heat the soy creamer, 1 1/2 cups of the soy milk, the vanilla bean, and vanilla seeds in a saucepan until the mixture comes to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the vanilla bean to steep in the milk mixture for 20 minutes. While the mixture is cooling, prepare a slurry by mixing together the remaining 1/2 cup soy milk with the arrowroot powder. Add the agave nectar to the milk mixture and return to a boil. Decrease the heat and whisk in the slurry. Continue whisking until the mixture just begins to thicken. Remove from the heat and whisk in the xanthan gum. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for several hours or overnight until cold. Remove the vanilla bean and freeze in the ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions.

VEGAN VANILLA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Pour most of the coconut milk into a saucepan, reserving a splash in a small bowl for later. Add the sugar, salt and turmeric (for colour) to the pan. Cut the vanilla pod in half lengthways (if using) and scrape the seeds out of both sides with the side of the knife. Put the seeds and the pod, or vanilla paste, into the pan. Warm on a low heat for 10 mins until the sugar has melted and the mixture starts to steam.
• Mix the cornflour with the reserved coconut milk in a small bowl until smooth. Pour into the hot milk, and continually whisking, heat for another 5-10 mins until the mixture thickens to a pourable custard consistency. Strain into a bowl, and cover. Leave to cool, then chill for at least 2 hrs.
• Pour the chilled mix into an ice cream maker, and churn for 20-30 mins until you get a soft scoop ice cream. Transfer to a sealable container and freeze for up to 3 months until ready to serve. If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the chilled mix into a wide-based plastic tub or dish. Freeze for 2-3 hrs, stirring the mix every 20 mins with a fork, to break up any large ice crystals, until soft ice cream. Transfer to a smaller tub and freeze until ready to serve. You should be able to scoop the ice cream easily from the freezer, or leave for a few mins at room temperature to soften, if you need to.
