Ingredients
  1. 2 cups almond milk
  2. ¾ can full-fat coconut milk
  3. 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
  4. 1 tsp cinnamon
  5. 1-2 pinches cayenne pepper
  6. Pinch salt
  7. 2/3 cup coconut sugar (or ½ cup maple syrup or honey)
  8. 5 large egg yolks
Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, whisk together the almond milk, coconut milk, vanilla, spices, salt and half of the sugar. Bring the mixture to just a boil.
  2. While the milk/spice mixture is heating, combine to yolks and remaining sugar in heat-proof bowl. Using a hand mixer on low speed or a whisk, beat until mixture is pale and thick.
  3. Once the milk/spice mixture has come to a slight boil, whisk about 1/3 of the hot mixture into the yolk/sugar mixture. Add another 1/3 of the mixture, then return the combined mixture to the saucepan.
  4. Stir the mixture constantly over the low heat with a wooden spoon until it thickens slightly and coats the back of the spoon. This mixture must NOT boil or the yolks will overcook. The process should take only a few minutes.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours or overnight.
  6. Turn on the ice cream maker; pour the mixture in and let mix until thickened, about 15-20 minutes. The ice cream will have a soft, creamy texture. If a firmer consistency is desired, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and place in freezer for about 2 hours. Remove from freezer about 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
  1. Makes about 5 cups.
  2. *This recipe is perfectly proportioned for a 1 ½ quart ice cream maker like the Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker.
