Prep time: 5 MinInactive time: 12 HourTotal time: 12 H & 5 M

Ingredients

• 1 cup of unsweetened full-fat coconut milk (including the cream)
• 1 cup unsweetened soy milk
• 1/4 cup refined cane sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp peppermint extract
• 1/4 tsp xanthan gum
• A pinch of salt
• Green food coloring to desired color (optional)
• Frozen whole Oreos or chocolate chips (as a mix-in, done after blending)

Instructions

1. In a large container that you can use to easily transfer into a pint, mix everything but the xanthan gum and blend with an immersion blender.
2. Create a vortex with the immersion blender and sprinkle in the xanthan gum to prevent clumping.
3. Let the bubbles escape, then freeze for 12 hours or overnight.
4. Once frozen, run under hot water for 1-2 min before blending to prevent icy edges.
5. Blend on light; if clumpy or dry, add a tablespoon of plant-based milk at a time and respin.
6. Dig a hole in the middle and add in your mix-in of choice, then press “mix-ins.” You can also just manually mix them in or sprinkle it on top.

Notes

Keeping the Oreos whole, frozen, and dug into the middle of the ice cream is key to preventing them from getting pulverized and completely mixed into the ice cream base.
