Instructions
1
Infuse Coconut Mixture
Start by combining the coconut milk, coconut cream, sliced ginger, fresh turmeric, coconut oil, and a split vanilla bean in a bowl and set it aside. Next, take a cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, and peppercorns, and lightly crush them in a mortar and pestle until the cinnamon breaks into small pieces and the cardamom pods open up, releasing their seeds. Don’t crush the peppercorns too much—just a bit to bring out their flavor.
2
Toast spices and mix
Add the spice mix to a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring gently to help the spices release their oils, then take it off the heat. Pour in the coconut milk mixture, being careful not to let it get too hot, then stir in the honey. Let everything sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes so the flavors can meld, then pop it in the fridge until it’s cool but the coconut oil hasn't solidified—about 10 minutes.
3
Blend and finish
Once cooled, fish out the sliced ginger and cardamom pods and toss them. Remove the vanilla bean, scrape out the seeds, and stir those back into the mix before discarding the pod. Use an immersion blender to blend everything until smooth and creamy.
4
Churn and Add Ginger
Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn following the machine’s instructions, usually around 20 minutes. When there are about 5 minutes left, add some freshly grated ginger for a little extra kick. After churning, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze it until it firms up, which usually takes about 4 hours.
5
Add Spices
When you’re ready to serve, sprinkle a little ground turmeric and cayenne on top for a warm, spicy finish. Enjoy!
