How to Make Lazy Vanilla Ice Cream

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup soy milk and 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder (or cornstarch) until smooth. Set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 (14 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk (or soy creamer), 1/2 cup soy milk, and 3/4 cup granulated sugar. Stir to combine.
  3. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it just begins to simmer.
  4. Remove from heat and immediately whisk in the arrowroot slurry (from step 1). The mixture will thicken instantly.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
  6. Pour the mixture into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap (pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming), and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely chilled.
  7. Churn the chilled mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  8. Once churned, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-4 hours to allow it to harden further before serving.
