Once chilled, pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This process typically takes 20-30 minutes. The mixture should thicken and take on the consistency of soft serve.
7. Freeze for Firmness:
Transfer the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top and press a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent ice crystals. Cover with a lid and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until firm.
8. Serving Suggestions:
Scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones. For an extra touch, top with fresh berries, shredded coconut, or a drizzle of berry sauce. Enjoy your homemade vegan berry ice cream!
Additional Tips
Storage: Store the ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. It can last for up to 2 weeks, though it’s best enjoyed within the first few days for optimal texture.
Adjusting Sweetness: You can substitute maple syrup with agave nectar or another sweetener of your choice. Adjust the amount based on your taste preference.
Berry Variations: Feel free to use any berries you like. For a smoother ice cream, strain out the seeds after blending the berries.
Texture: If the ice cream becomes too hard, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping. This softens it slightly and makes it easier to serve.
