hi everyone and welcome to my channel because it's summer and it's really hot here in BC we are gonna make ice cream today vegan vanilla ice cream to be exact the first thing you'll need are some cashews so soak them in cold water overnight or for at least 4 hours drain and rinse the soap cashews and add them to a high-speed blender if you're not a fan of cashews macadamia nuts work really well too the next ingredient is full fat coconut milk yes you do need full fat other vegan milks like almond milk rice milk or even light coconut milk just don't cut it when it comes to ice cream store-bought plant-based milks have generally high water content and low fat content which creates heart icy crystals when frozen now you might be wondering if the ice cream tastes like coconut or if you even need to use the coconut milk and my answer is you all have to watch the taste test at the end of this video to find out next up I'm using maple syrup as the sweetener but any liquid sweetener will work when you look at the ingredients of store-bought vegan ice creams the sweeteners vary from agave syrup maple syrup a brown rice syrup - try it cane syrup or even monk fruit extract so experiment and see what you like here I'm also adding a little bit of coconut oil which helps to slow down melting of the ice cream now one of the most important ingredients in this vanilla ice cream is of course vanilla bean while a vanilla bean is more expensive than vanilla extract it has a more intense vanilla flavor it's the purest form of vanilla that being said pure alcohol based vanilla extract has its place in this recipe as well not only does it add more flavor but the alcohol helps prevent ice crystals last but not least a pinch of sea salt and we are ready to blend the best way to turn this mixture into ice cream is to use an ice cream maker pour the ice cream mixture into the ice cream maker container and churn it according to manufacturer's directions mine takes about 22 minutes if you don't have an ice cream maker I have detailed instructions on how to make ice cream without an ice cream maker on my block so have a look at it if you're interested I have a link to the blog post in the description box below this video once the ice-cream is churned if you are using the ice-cream maker it will have more of a soft-serve consistency if you prefer that your ice cream is ready if you prefer a little bit firmer ice cream spoon the churned ice cream into a loaf pan and place it into a freezer for a few hours the time will depend on how firm you like the ice cream anywhere from two to eight hours I recommend putting the entire container with ice cream into an airtight bag so the ice cream doesn't absorb any odors or moisture from the freezer storing the ice cream this way will also help prevent ice crystal formation the vanilla ice cream is ready when it reaches the desired consistency it should be creamy rich and so refreshing Desmond our ice cream is based on coconut bliss vanilla ice cream which i think is probably the most popular brand of vegan ice cream here in Canada now their ingredient list is really simple it's basically just coconut cream coconut milk vanilla bean and agave syrup so this ice cream is very similar I just added cashews to offset the coconut flavor a little bit but other than that it's pretty much the same the ingredients what about the flavor and texture Turner I can tell you that more straightforward texture than the coconut version so Petra's version here is I don't know how to describe it it's more straightforward texture wise where I think the coconut bliss because it feels more oily it's the coconut the coconut bliss tastes slightly more oily on the palate like it's almost getting to the point of being slippery whereas maybe because it's more fresh when I'm eating here it is just more straightforward smooth across the palate and then dissipates really quickly in the original batch like cashews were the only thing in there there's no coconut milk so I was just the coconut milk just to make it like a little bit like you would saturate the palate a little bit more and I was kind of going like it was dry at first but now we've got so that you cannot really detect cashews at all I don't think yes so this is a second batch yes and I didn't like my first batch that's why we added the coconut milk like I don't detect cashews and I don't detect the flavor of coconut but I do detect coconut milk in that it's that saturated fat smooth texture over the path yes and then the vanilla flavor and the vanilla flavor yeah I just love freshmen not being because it gives it such nice flavor so I hope you enjoyed this video if you did please give me a thumbs up comment below subscribe to my channel and I'll see next time .

Just like the double berry ice cream I shared with you a few months ago, this vegan vanilla ice cream is intensely creamy. With a deep vanilla bean aroma flavor, It has just a hint of coconut you’d only pick out if you knew you were looking for it.
If you don’t do dairy like me, you may be looking for vegan cool treats to eat in the summer. Fortunately, grocery stores now carry a plethora of delicious non-dairy frozen desserts using various plant-based milks. But ever since I purchased my ice cream machine, I’ve been churning my own and the flavor possibilities are endless.
The inspiration for this vegan vanilla ice cream came from Luna & Larry’s Coconut Bliss. The texture and flavor of Coconut Bliss is largely indistinguishable from premium ice cream. It’s smooth, creamy, decadent, and so satisfying.
