Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups peanut milk
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups of peanut milk, 1/2 cup of maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk together until well combined and the maple syrup is fully dissolved.
- Incorporate 1/4 cup of peanut butter into the mixture. For a smoother texture, you may want to warm the peanut butter slightly in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds before adding it to the bowl. Whisk again until the peanut butter is completely blended into the mixture.
- Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if desired by adding more maple syrup. If you prefer a stronger peanut flavor, you can also add an extra tablespoon of peanut butter at this stage.
- Once the mixture is well combined and smooth, pour it into an ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for churning the ice cream. Typically, this will take about 20-30 minutes until the mixture reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- If you do not have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow container and place it in the freezer. Stir the mixture every 30 minutes for about 2-3 hours to break up any ice crystals, until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Once the ice cream is ready, transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours for a firmer texture, if desired.
- To serve, scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones. You can garnish with crushed peanuts, a drizzle of maple syrup, or your favorite vegan chocolate sauce if desired.
- Enjoy your homemade vegan peanut milk ice cream!
Tips
- Choose Quality Ingredients: For the best flavor, use high-quality peanut butter and pure maple syrup. Natural peanut butter without added sugars or oils will give you the creamiest texture.
- Warm the Peanut Butter: If you want a smoother blend, warm your peanut butter slightly before mixing it in. This will help it incorporate more easily into the peanut milk mixture.
- Adjust Sweetness: Don’t hesitate to taste the mixture before churning! If you prefer a sweeter ice cream, add more maple syrup to suit your taste.
- Chill Your Mixture: If you have time, chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before churning. This can help improve the texture of your ice cream.
- No Ice Cream Maker? No Problem!: If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow container and freeze it. Stir every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Add Mix-Ins: Get creative! Consider adding chopped nuts, dairy-free chocolate chips, or even a swirl of fruit puree for a fun twist.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer. To serve, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften before scooping. Enjoy your homemade vegan peanut milk ice cream, and don’t forget to share your delicious creations with friends!
