Ingredients

  • 2 cups blueberries

  • 2 cups coconut milk

  • 1 tbsp mint

  • 1/4 cup raw sugar

Directions

  1. Begin the night before by placing two bowls in the freezer - one to use for mixing and one to use as a container for your ice cream. Place all ingredients in the fridge as well so ingredients will be as cold as possible.

  2. Puree blueberries, coconut milk and raw sugar (or honey) with a blender, forming an emulsion. Optionally add soy milk powder as well.

  3. Finally pour the blended blueberry ice cream into the now frosted bowl and leave in the freezer until the ingredients begin to solidify into something that looks like ice cream. For best results, stir the ice cream every 15 minutes to break up ice crystals (effectively creaming the ice). Once solidified, scoop and serve yourself with a homemade delight.

  4. Garnish with fresh mint. Feel free to top with a few fresh blueberries!
