Oh my god you guys, this is literally heaven on a plate! *angelic singing voice*

May I present?

This is dairy- free coconut ice cream! – aaand also the fourth part of my "Thai cuisine" blog series where I recreate meals that I've eaten on my 2 week vacation in Thailand (so if you have any suggestions for other Thai dishes to recreate, please let me know!).  

It's the first thing I've ever eaten in Thailand, and I ate it about every other day for two weeks straight from then on. Just give it a try.

COCONUT ICE CREAM

Preparation time: 1 hour (+ 2 hours soaking time)
Main ingredients: mango, sticky rice, coconut milk
difficulty level: easy
serves: 3-6
suitable for: vegan, lactose-free, gluten-free, soy-free

Ingredients

3 cans of full fat coconut milk
2/3 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla

roasted peanuts

Instructions

The night before:
Put two cans of coconut milk in the fridge overnight. 
Put the third can of coconut milk into a pot with 2/3 cup of sugar. Bring the pot to a light simmer for 30 minutes to 1 hour, until it reduces by about half and is thick. Put it in the fridge overnight as well. This will be vegan condensed milk.

The next day, open the 2 cans of coconut milk that were in the fridge. Carefully scoop the cream off the top into a mixing bowl. Use an electric mixer to beat the coconut cream on high until it is thick, fluffy and creamy. Add the thick coconut milk & sugar mixture to the bowl and beat with the coconut cream. It should resemble a light, fluffy whipped cream after about 2 minutes. Add a tsp of vanilla and beat a few seconds more until combined.

And ta-da! That's it! Super easy and delicious coconut ice cream!

Now all you've got to do is transfer it to a container and freeze it for several hours, preferably overnight. Serve with roasted peanuts on top.
