In reply to Sandra DuBois. Hi Sandra, I found it best written as is. I'm not sure you will have the same result with it. If you try it, let me know.

Can I swap out the arrowroot for another thickener, such as tapioca startch?

In reply to Abigail S Hatfield. Hi Abigail, so glad you enjoyed my ice creams! I haven't tried a berry version, but I think your idea might work great! Please report back. :)

I absolutely love your coconut milk ice cream recipes. I’ve tried the Salted Peanut Butter recipe, and the Chai recipe. After trying other paleo variations, including recipes with gelatin, I think the Arrowroot makes this one creamier and better textured overall. I’m wondering if you’ve tried a berry coconut milk ice cream recipe? I’m going to try replacing the 2/3 cup water with blackberry puree tonight! If you have any tips, please let me know!

Hi, I dont know if you’ll see this, but why do you scoop off the thickened top layer of ice cream and discard it?
Looking forward to trying this

Hi Kate,
Fueled by a sense of victory over the peanut butter version of your coconut milkice cream, I thought I would try this recipe too, but it turned out really icy up to the point where it was inedible. When I had made coconut milk ice cream previously I did not add any water to the coconut milk, and the consistency was definitely much better. Could my failed second attempt have been due to the added water or could it be that the arrowroot didn’t get activated?
Thanks.

Brilliant. This sounds so delicious! I love how you recreated a traditional affogato and with chai! I’m definitely going to try this, as well as a traditional affogato!

In reply to MaryB. Hi Mary, I'm sorry I didn't answer your question sooner. The arrowroot greatly improves the texture, but it adds a weird film to the top of the chilled ice cream mixture. If you've made pudding with cornstarch before, it's like that. I just wasn't sure the film would mix back in very well.

In reply to Stephanie. Really? I'm surprised affogato was a rare find over there. I don't think I even knew what affogato was when I visited Italy in college! Time for another visit. :)

Oh my god, I absolutely LOVE this combination. Chai is so good all on its own but combined with ice cream and coffee? Holy goodness. You know what, I was actually in Italy just a week ago and was perplexed to find how rare it is to see affogato on the menu. I was really bummed. It’s really the perfect post-dinner treat.
