Easy Vegan Ice Cream with White Miso Paste

This Ice Cream uses only three ingredients: Coconut Milk, Rice Malt Syrup and White Miso. This combination works really well together in this unusual and exciting umami-rich ice cream and you don't need an ice cream maker to make this recipe at home.

The trick to this ice cream is to have both the Coconut Milk and the mixing bowl chilled prior to making, and mixing quickly. Once made, keep in a sealed container in the freezer and eat within a week.

Makes about 500ml

Ingredients

• 2 cans (2 x 400ml) Clearspring Organic Coconut Milk
• 4 tbs Clearspring Organic Rice Malt Syrup (Or Clearspring Syrup of your choice)
• 1 tbs Clearspring Organic Japanese White Miso Paste - Unpasteurised 
• Optional - Clearspring Organic Japanese Matcha Green Tea Powder - Premium Grade

Method

1. Put the cans of coconut milk upside down in the fridge to chill for at least 12 hours before making. If possible, put a mixing bowl into the freezer 20-30 minutes before you make the ice cream.
2. Open the cans and the coconut cream and liquid should have separated. Pour the liquid off (you might need to use a sieve) and scrape the solid cream into the pre chilled mixing bowl.
3. Use an electric whisk to whip the solid cream into soft peaks, then add the rice malt syrup, white miso and fold in on a slow speed or with a spatula.
4. Transfer to an airtight freezer container with lid and freezer overnight until solid.
5. Remove from the freezer 5 minutes before serving.
6. Optional - Sprinkle some Matcha powder on top for decoration.
