07 Apr Raspberry Coconut Milk Ice Cream
When you’re reading this I’ll be in Paris with my friend Emma. We’ll probably be walking through the corridors of “The Louvre”, eating ice cream at a café or standing hunched over books in my favorite bookshop. When you read this it’ll also be the 1 year blogiversary of Baking Magique! It’s hard to believe that exactly 1 year ago I hit publish for the very first time. In some ways it feels like it was yesterday but at the same time it feels like ages ago, like I’ve had this blog forever.
When I started this blog I wrote the recipes in Swedish since I had no intention of sharing them with the rest of the world, I just wanted to have a place to save my favorite recipes and to be able to share them with friends and family. Pretty soon after I started the blog I switched to english and so much has changed since then. I’ve improved both my english and my food photography skills and I’ve also made contact with so many wonderful people around the world thanks to this blog.
I always thought that I’d have big plans for this day with maybe a layer cake or two. Obviously, that didn’t happen. Instead I whipped up this raspberry coconut milk ice cream on a whim. My parents and younger sister have already left for vacation so it’s only me and my older sister left in the house. We had this ice cream for fika (even though some people may argue that ice cream does not count as fika) and it was delicious. The coconut milk makes it super creamy, it’s really easy to make and requires only five ingredients and a pinch of sea salt. I know you’ll love it. So many readers have requested a video tutorial for my gluten free sourdough starter and I finally made one! You can watch it HERE. I also wanted to thank you for all the comments and support I’ve received from you this year, without it I probably wouldn’t keep blogging. (insert heart emoji) Happy Easter!
Ingredients
- 1 can (400 ml/13 oz) full fat coconut milk
- 1 1/2 cup ( 150 g) raspberries
- 1/3 cup natural cane sugar
- a pinch of sea salt
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- a scant tbsp of cornstarch
Instructions
- In a medium pot over medium heat, warm half of the coconut milk, raspberries, the sugar and a pinch of salt. Take off the heat once the sugar is dissolved, the raspberries have fallen apart and the coconut milk has a nice pink color. Blend everything with a hand blender or in a mixer.
- In a large bowl, add the remaining coconut milk and stir in the vanilla and cornstarch to dissolve.
- Pour the warm mixed coconut milk through a sieve into the coconut-cornstarch mixture and mix until evenly combined. Discard the raspberry seeds in the sieve. Leave the bowl in the fridge to cool completely.
- Once cooled, churn the mixture in your ice cream machine according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Let the ice cream set fully in the freezer.
Notes
The recipe can easily be doubled. If using 2 cans of coconut milk, add 1 1/2 tbsp of corn starch.

I’m *so* happy that you have kept up blogging, and that you switched to English so that this gluten free girl from Minnesota, USA could enjoy your recipes!! I found your blog right before St. Lucia Day, looking for an authentic gf saffron bun recipe to make for my family. We hadn’t been able to have something that tasted so close to the real thing for years. Thank you SO much!

Posted at 14:25h, 21 AprilThis is a stunning bowl of ice cream! Happy 1 year anniversary, too! That’s pretty cool. I was wondering what the cornstarch does in this particular ice cream recipe? Does it change the texture? Make it thicker? Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful recipes!
Thea Tillberg
Posted at 18:20h, 21 AprilThanks! 🙂 Corn starch is added when making frozen yogurt or coconut ice cream to make it smoother when frozen. I think you could substitute it with arrowroot or tapioca starch as well but I haven’t tried that.

Posted at 14:20h, 12 JuneThis looks amazing – so want to try this recipe. Is there a way to make this without an ice-cream machine?
Thea Tillberg
Posted at 23:02h, 25 JuneYou can try this method ( http://www.davidlebovitz.com/2007/07/making-ice-crea-1/ ). But you’ll have a better result with an ice cream machine. 🙂

Posted at 01:42h, 18 MayHi! I was wondering what ice cream maker do you use? What could I substitute the cane sugar for? Coconut sugar? Maple syrup?
Thea Tillberg
Posted at 13:48h, 20 MayHi! I ise a swedish ice cream maker so I don’t think it’s available anywhere else… I would recommend using the cane sugar because the ice cream will freeze better but if you want to make it and eat straight away you could substitute with maple syrup or coconut sugar! 🙂
