1. Embracing Natural Ingredients:

Opt for fresh mint leaves over extracts for the most authentic and refreshing mint flavor. If mint leaves are not available, use a high-quality mint extract. Pairing the mint with coconut milk achieves a creamy texture and adds a subtle tropical sweetness that enhances the overall flavor profile.

2. Creating the Mint Infusion:

Begin by gently warming the coconut milk with a generous handful of fresh mint leaves. Allow the mixture to simmer lightly, then remove it from the heat to steep. This process extracts the mint’s essential oils, coloring the milk with a natural green hue and infusing it with a fresh, aromatic flavor.

3. Chilling and Churning to Perfection:

After straining the mint leaves from the mixture, thoroughly chill your ice cream base in the refrigerator. Once cold, churn it in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The churning process is key to achieving a smooth, creamy texture reminiscent of traditional dairy ice cream.

4. Freezing to Desired Consistency:

Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze until it reaches your preferred consistency. Whether you enjoy your ice cream soft-serve style or firmer, this step ensures the minty freshness is locked in, ready to cool you down and delight your taste buds.

5. Serving Your Dairy-Free Mint Creation:
