Low Sugar Dairy-Free Chai Ice Cream
This is a rich, gently spicy ice cream that I love eating on fall or winter nights. Please note that the Prep time is hands-on time only. Allow plenty of time or churning and chilling.
Ingredients
- 1 14-ounce can lite coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
- 3 regular or decaf chai tea bags
- 1 14-ounce can full-fat coconut milk
- 1/4 cup agave nectar
- 5 drops plain or vanilla liquid stevia (or to taste)
Instructions
- 1
Pour the lite coconut milk in a small, heavy bottomed saucepan. Sprinkle with the gelatin and let it soften for several minutes.
- 2
Place the pan over medium heat, and let it cook, stirring occasionally, until the gelatin dissolves and the milk is very warm.
- 3
Remove the pan from the heat and steep the tea bags in the mixture for 5 to 8 minutes.
- 4
Once the tea has finished steeping, gently squeeze the bags to extract as much flavor as possible.
- 5
Strain the tea mixture into your blender, and add the full-fat coconut milk, agave, and stevia. Blend until combined. Taste, and blend in more stevia if needed.
- 6
Refrigerate the mixture for 2 hours or overnight.
- 7
Churn the mixture in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s direcitons.
- 8
Pack the soft serve ice cream into a freezer-safe container, and freeze for 4 hours or more for hard-packed ice cream.
