Why It Works
Full-fat coconut milk is a great base for ice cream because it's rich and creamy. It also has a slightly sweet flavor, which means you don't need to add a lot of sugar to the recipe.
Maple syrup or honey is a natural sweetener that adds a subtle sweetness to the ice cream. It's also a good source of antioxidants.
Vanilla extract is a classic flavoring for ice cream. It adds a rich and complex flavor that complements the coconut milk and maple syrup.
