Vanilla Frozen Custard
(Dairy-Free, No Refined Sugar)
3 cups canned full-fat coconut milk (about 2 cans)
8 large egg yolks
1/2 cup honey
1 vanilla bean
1 tsp vanilla extract
1. In a large saucepan, heat coconut milk over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. Split the vanilla bean in half, scraping the inside of each side and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolks and honey vigorously. Ladle a small amount of warm coconut milk to the eggs and whisk to combine to temper the egg yolks. Continue doing this until about 1/3rd of the coconut milk has been added to the yolks. Pour the remaining coconut milk in with the egg yolks, whisk to combine. Whisk in scrapings from vanilla bean and add vanilla bean pod to the milk.
3.Pour the entire mixture back into the large saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat until it reaches about 170 to 175 degrees. The mixture will be thick and easily coat the back of a spoon.
4. Transfer the custard base to a large bowl or measuring cup (like one of those glass 8-cup measuring cups) and allow to cool for about an hour. Fish out vanilla bean pod. Add vanilla extract and stir to combine.
5. Refrigerate overnight (or 6-8 hours if that fits your schedule better). Pour into your ice cream maker and follow your maker's instructions.
6. Try your best not to eat it all at once.
