Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups Silk Original soymilk
- 2 cups Silk Original creamer
- 1 vanilla bean
- ½ cup honey, agave or sugar
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot or cornstarch
- Special Tools: Ice Cream Maker
PREPARATION
Place soymilk and creamer in a medium saucepan and whisk in honey, agave or sugar. Slice vanilla bean in half lengthwise, and use the tip of a knife to scrape the seeds from the bean into the saucepan. Add bean pod as well. Bring mixture to a simmer over medium heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and remove about ¼ cup from the pan and whisk it together with the arrowroot in a small bowl. Whisk the arrowroot mixture back into the pan, cover and let the mixture infuse for 20 minutes. Cool completely and process in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer’s instructions.
NOTE: If you don’t have a vanilla bean, add 2 teaspoons vanilla extract when removing mixture from heat. You may also add fresh fruit or any other flavorings you desire.
