Ingredients:
1 cup unsweetened soy milk
1 cup refined coconut sugar
1/4 cup powdered sugar
3/4 cup vegan condensed milk
1/2 cup oats
1 tbsp vegan butter
A pinch of cinnamon and salt
2 peaches (for blanching and peeling)
Method:
1. Prepare the Coconut Soy Cream: Start by melting the coconut oil in a small pot until it’s liquid. Combine this with soy milk in a blender, then blend until smooth. Pour this mixture into a clean container and refrigerate overnight. This will create a creamy base that's essential for a rich and satisfying ice cream texture.
2. Toast the Oats: In a small pan, melt the vegan butter over medium heat. Add the oats, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt, toasting them until they turn golden brown. This adds a delightful crunch and a hint of warmth to the ice cream. Set the toasted oats aside to cool.
3. Prepare the Peaches: Score the bottom of the peaches with an X. Boil them in a small pot of water for about a minute, then transfer them to cold running water. Once cool, peel off the skins and dice the peaches into small chunks. This process helps to easily remove the skin and keeps the peaches tender.
4. Make the Ice Cream Base: In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the chilled coconut soy cream with powdered sugar and vegan condensed milk. Using the whisk attachment, mix until you achieve stiff peaks. This creates a light and fluffy base that's perfect for incorporating your mix-ins.
5. Fold in Peaches and Oats: Gently fold the diced peaches and toasted oats into the cream mixture with a spatula. Be careful not to overmix, as you want to keep the mixture airy and light.
6. Freeze and Enjoy: Transfer the mixture to a container, like a bread tin, and cover it with a lid or cling film. Freeze overnight to let the flavors meld and the ice cream to firm up. Once frozen, scoop out your Peach Cobbler Ice Cream and enjoy!
Tips for the Perfect Peach Cobbler Ice Cream:
Use Fresh Peaches: For the best flavor, use ripe, fresh peaches. They provide a natural sweetness and juicy texture that's perfect for ice cream.
Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter ice cream, you can adjust the amount of powdered sugar to taste.
Experiment with Spices: Feel free to experiment with additional spices like nutmeg or ginger for a unique twist on traditional peach cobbler flavors.
