  • Gemma's Bigger Bolder Baking Homemade Ice Cream

  • Dairy-Free

  • Hi Bold Bakers! Thanks to you, my No Machine Ice Cream video has reached more than 1 million

  • views. I have lots more No Machine creations to come starting with this week's much-requested

  • Dairy-Free No Machine Ice Cream which is based on Coconut Milk. So let's get baking!

  • So to make this Dairy-Free Ice Cream, we are using the exact same method that you guys

  • know and love from my original No Machine Ice Cream video. We're just replacing the

  • dairy with coconut milk. This recipe is not just for people who are dairy free. I want

  • you all to try it because it really is a delicious ice cream.

  • We're going to start out by making our coconut condensed milk for our ice cream base.

  • So in a heavy-bottomed pan, we're going to add in our full-fat coconut milk and our sugar.

  • Bring these two ingredients to a simmer and then turn it down low and let it bubble away

  • very gently for around 30 minutes.

  • As it simmers, you will see it's actually starting to change color and go a little bit

  • darker and starting to thicken and that's exactly what we want. Once your 30 minutes are up,

  • this is what you should be left with: a thick coconutty syrup and this is our condensed milk.

  • We're going to pour this into a jug and set it aside to cool down and put it into the

  • refrigerator to get it really cold before we make our ice cream.

  • When your condensed milk is cold, this is what it should look like. Beautiful and syrupy.

  • It needs to be lovely and thick and look just like regular condensed milk.

  • Our next step is to whip up our coconut. You want to put your two cans of coconut milk

  • in the fridge overnight to get them really nice and cold. Then, this is a really good,

  • trick. We're going to take them out. You're going to turn your coconut tin upside down

  • and open it from the bottom and I'm going to show you why.

  • What you want for this ice cream is the coconut solid and not the water. And if you turn it

  • upside down, as you can see the water rises to the top. Pour away the coconut water. And

  • then you have your coconut solids on the bottom. It's the perfect way to decant the water from the solids.

  • We're going to scoop out the solids and put them into our mixer. As for the water, don't

  • throw it away. You can drink it because it tastes really good and or put it into

  • smoothies like I do, it's really hydrating and yummy.

  • Now using a stand mixer or a hand mixer, we're going to whip up the coconut solids. We're

  • going to turn the machine on to medium-high speed and we're going to whip this up and you're

  • going to see it thicken and actually get bigger in volume. This looks great! Now that it's

  • looser and it's gotten a bit lighter, it's time to add in our condensed milk. Now we're

  • going to turn back on the machine and whip it up again until you see it get bigger and

  • fluffier. Another good tip for this ice cream is to make sure all of your ingredients are

  • cold even your bowl. I like to put it into the fridge before I use it.

  • Great! So our ice cream base is ready. It is that easy! So this is what it should look

  • like. It needs to be nice and thick so it freezes well and it holds its structure and it

  • doesn't separate.

  • So a nice little tip before you add in your flavors to your ice cream is to add in some

  • vanilla extract. And vanilla extract has alcohol in it and it will actually stop your ice cream

  • base from crystallizing.

  • I'm going to give it a little taste. You do not have to be vegan or dairy-free to enjoy

  • this ice cream. It is so good!

  • Our first flavor up is classic vanilla. I want to say a big thank you to Sherry because

  • she requested this flavor and she always sends me such nice comments.

  • Start by scooping your ice cream base into a bowl.

  • The funny thing is the coconut flavor is actually quite mild so whatever flavor you add to it,

  • you get a little bit of coconut and a lot of your other flavor.

  • To this we're going to add in our vanilla extract and fresh vanilla beans. If you don't

  • have a fresh vanilla pod, don't worry about it. Just use vanilla extract.

  • And then just whisk it all together. Look at those beautiful speckles of vanilla bean.

  • It looks fantastic!

  • Just like before, we're going to put the prepared ice cream into these lovely little containers.

  • Look at that! Absolutely gorgeous. And you can't beat a classic like vanilla. Beautiful!

  • We're going to call this flavor tropical vanilla. I'm going to put a downloadable PDF for these

  • stickers on my Facebook page so you can make your own. And remember this flavor makes a

  • great accompaniment for your microwave brownie mug cake.

  • This little guy is the first of many flavors so we're going to pop him into the freezer

  • and get started on the next one.

  • I'm a big fan of the next flavor because I ate a lot of it growing up. And that is Raspberry

  • Ripple! And thanks so much to CalicoCatGirl y for the request.

  • We're going to start out by blending together some raspberries and sugar in a food processor.

  • Then we're going to pass it through a sieve and you end up with a lovely raspberry puree

  • to add to your ice cream base.

  • Now add your ice cream base to the bowl and then ripple in your raspberry puree. You don't

  • want to stir in your raspberry too much because you want to maintain those lovely ripples.

  • The raspberry and coconut are such great flavors together. There's a good reason this was my

  • favorite flavor.

  • This ice cream looks so beautiful. Now for the finishing touch.

  • This is so good, you guys are going to love this. We have more flavors to come so we're

  • going to pop this in the freezer and then on to the next one.

  • All the recipes can be found below this video in the description box. And if you haven't

  • done so already, don't forget to subscribe to my channel.

  • For our next flavor, Kavya Sivan suggested something that goes really well with coconut

  • which is pineapple for Pina Colada.

  • Just like the Raspberry Ripple flavor, we're going to make a puree with our pineapple.

  • If you don't have fresh pineapple you can use tinned or frozen. Beautiful. Look at that

  • color. I love pineapple so much. It's such a nice fresh flavor. And it's going to be

  • yummy in our ice cream.

  • Then in a large bowl, add in your ice cream base and mix in your pineapple puree. We're

  • also going to toss in a little bit of coconut for extra flavor and texture. When you bring

  • these two flavors together of the pineapple and the coconut it really does remind you

  • of a Pina Colada. Once your ice cream is mixed, then put it straight into your container.

  • And then top it off with some toasted coconut. Our ice cream is done so on with our sticker.

  • Our next flavor up, in my opinion, is an absolute must and that is chocolate. And because our

  • ice cream base is coconut, we're going to make Almond Joy Ice Cream.

  • This flavor is really no fuss: you add your ice cream base into your bowl. Sift over some

  • cocoa powder and fold in toasted almonds. It couldn't be easier! We are using cocoa

  • powder instead of fresh chocolate to flavor this ice cream because cocoa powder is dairy-free.

  • This is so good it's kind of like a coconut mousse and the almonds definitely give it really nice

  • texture. Make sure you toast them because they pop a little bit more.

  • As you can see, this is a beautiful thick ice cream. I think it's the cocoa powder that

  • does it. For a little something extra, I'm going to top it off with some toasted almonds.

  • You guys are going to go Coco-Nuts for this one. And he's ready for the freezer. Gosh.

  • I can actually smell this already and it smells so good. I can't wait to try it.

  • I have all of the comments and requests for this next flavor, so I'm happy to finally bring

  • you Matcha Green Tea Ice Cream.

  • I'm going to write in the recipe which Matcha Powder I used but you can find it in most

  • stores it's just on the pricey side.

  • In a bowl, add in your ice cream base. And sprinkle over your Matcha Green Tea powder.

  • And then gently mix together until well combined. So I'll admit, I've never had green tea

  • ice cream before but with all of your requests coming in I just had to try it and you were

  • dead on because it tastes really good.

  • Once it's all mixed, it's ready for the container. I really hope Id did this flavor justice for

  • you guys.

  • Would you like a bonus ice cream flavor? I shared my recipe for a Caramelized Banana

  • Ice Cream over on my Instagram. So guys make sure you go over there and check it out. It's

  • a really good one!

  • This coconut ice cream is so good and I really want you guys to try it. Just because it's

  • vegan, does not mean that it's not for everybody. Thanks for all the great requests for this

  • video. You guys picked some great flavors of ice cream and I couldn't do it without you.

  • Mmmm.

  • If you like my No Machine Ice Cream recipe, then please share this video with a friend.

  • And make sure you head over to my Instagram for the 6th bonus flavor! I'll see you back

  • here again next Thursday for more Bigger Bolder Baking.
