3 tbsp maple syrup

Instructions

In a blender, combine the almond milk, coconut cream, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once the mixture has reached a soft serve consistency, transfer it to a freezer safe container.
Gently fold in the frozen mixed berries, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture. Cover and freeze until solid, at least 4 hours or overnight.

Chef’s Insight

The subtle sweetness of maple syrup perfectly balances the rich creaminess of this dessert.

Notes

Be sure to use fresh mixed berries for the best flavor and texture.

Substitutions

For almond milk, you can use other plant-based milks such as soy or oat milk.

Alternative Preparations

For a non-vegetarian alternative, use regular milk and cream instead of almond milk and coconut cream.

Alternative Methods

If you don't have an ice cream maker, freeze the mixture in a shallow dish until solid, stirring every hour or so to prevent ice crystals from forming.

Best Storage Practice

Keep the frozen dessert in an airtight container in the freezer until ready to serve.

Shelf Life

Up to 1 month in the freezer.

Plating Tips

Use a tall glass or bowl for each serving. Scoop the frozen treat generously, mounding it above the rim. - Top with a handful of fresh mint leaves, and garnish with a small sprig of mint on the side.
