Ingredients:

  1. 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  2. 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
  3. 1/2 cup maple syrup or agave nectar
  4. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  5. Pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1. In a blender or food processor, combine the blueberries, coconut milk, maple syrup or agave nectar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender or food processor as needed to ensure everything is well incorporated.
  3. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness or flavorings to your preference, if desired.
  4. If you have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into the machine and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  5. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer. Every 30 minutes, remove the dish from the freezer and stir the mixture vigorously to break up any ice crystals. Repeat this process until the ice cream is firm and creamy, usually about 4-6 hours.
  6. Once the ice cream reaches your desired consistency, transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-3 hours to firm up.
  7. Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
  8. Serve your Vegan Blueberry Ice Cream in bowls or cones, garnished with fresh blueberries or a sprinkle of coconut flakes, if desired.
