  • Water
  • Sugar
  • Lemon Zest
  • Cinnamon Stick

How to Make Almond Ice Cream Dairy Free

  1. Soak the almonds in hot water for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. Drain and rinse thoroughly.
  2. Combine the soaked almonds, coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt in a high-speed blender.
  3. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. This may take a few minutes, scraping down the sides as needed.
  4. Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid.
  5. For a smoother texture, churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. If you don't have an ice cream maker, let it freeze for longer, stirring every hour for the first three hours.
  6. Once frozen, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly before scooping and serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
