Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups apple cider or it's also okay to use regular apple juice
  • 3/4 cup coconut milk I like to use Trader Joe's coconut milk, as it has no additives and it's creamy, with no weird oil on top. It also will not yield bits or any unexpected textures in your frozen ice cream final product. If you can't access Trader Joe's coconut milk, other options include Thai Kitchen's without guar gum or Aroy-D. For dairy version: use real probiotic sour cream (for GAPS) to replace the coconut milk, or heavy cream (for VAD).
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup (or honey for GAPS)
  • 1 Tablespoon real vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon gelatin Use discount code BEAUTIFUL10 for 10% off your entire purchase if you use the link.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ceylon cinnamon

Instructions

  • Pour 1/2 cup of the apple cider into a small saucepan. Sprinkle the gelatin over its surface, and allow to bloom for one minute. (Bloom means it starts to absorb the liquid and begins to dissolve.) Stir it in, and turn the heat to medium-low.
  • Stir to fully dissolve the gelatin over the heat. Once steamy and foamy, but not yet simmering, remove from heat.
  • While whisking, pour in the maple syrup, and fully combine.
  • To a blender, add: remaining apple cider, room temp. coconut milk, gelatin water with syrup, vanilla and cinnamon. Blend on medium speed until smooth, about 15 to 25 seconds.
  • Pour into prepared (frozen overnight) ice cream maker, following manufacturer's directions. Freeze for about 20 minutes, until deliciously ready. Scoop into prepared storage container (chilled). Cover with a piece of parchment paper layed directly on its surface. Chill until ready to serve.
