Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon peeled and grated ginger
  • 2 15 ounce cans full fat coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, maple syrup, and ginger. Heat over medium-high stirring frequently.
  • As the blueberries begin to pop, mash them with the back of a wooden spoon. Continue to cook until a thick sauce forms, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Let blueberries cool and transfer to blender. Puree until smooth. Place in a container in the refrigerator to chill.
  • In another saucepan, add all of the coconut milk except for 1/2 cup. Stir in the vanilla and sugar. Begin to heat over medium-high setting.
  • Pour the reserved 1/2 cup into a small bowl and sift in the cornstarch. Stir until well combined.
  • Add the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan and stir. Bring to a simmer and turn off the heat.
  • Pour the mixture into a shallow pan and cover with saran wrap so that the wrap is touching/pressed to the top of the coconut mixture. (You want to prevent the top from forming a "skin".)
  • Transfer the coconut mixture to the fridge to cool completely. (Several hours to overnight is best.)
  • Add the coconut mixture to an ice cream maker and run according to your manufacturers directions. Pour 1/2 of the ice cream into a dish, then add dollops of the blueberry mixture to the ice cream in the pan. Use a knife or fork to create swirls with the blueberry sauce,
  • Add the other 1/2 of the ice cream to the pan and add the rest of the blueberry sauce, swirling again with a knife or spoon. (I had some extra blueberry sauce leftover - add as much or as little as you like.)
  • Chill covered in the freezer until firm.

Notes

You may have some leftover blueberry sauce. Use it as a topping when serving or reserve as a sauce for pancakes.
