Vegan Black Garlic & Lavender Ice Cream
Ingredients
3 cups full-fat coconut milk
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup corn starch
3 tablespoons black garlic paste
2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine 2 1/2 cups of coconut milk with the sugar and salt. Heat on low until it begins to steam but not boil, stirring occasionally.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup coconut milk with the cornstarch until smooth.
Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the heated coconut milk mixture, whisking constantly to combine.
Continue to cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Remove from heat and stir in the black garlic paste until well combined. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Before churning the ice cream, steep the dried lavender in 1/4 cup of boiling water for 15 minutes, then strain and discard the lavender, reserving the infused liquid. Mix the lavender infusion into the chilled ice cream base.
Churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once churned, transfer to a lidded container and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours.

1/2 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips
Green and yellow food colouring
