Vanilla Chocolate Chip
1 can (13.5oz / 400ml) coconut cream
1 cup almond milk
1/2 tsp xanthan gum
2 tbps coconut sugar
2 tbps coconut oil
1/4 cup agave nectar
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup chocolate chips
ingredients: ~28oz
ice cream: ~35oz
didn't produce enough ice cream, needs more ingredients
too oily from the coconut oil, need less or none at all
off-white color from the coconut sugar, use less to make brighter white
a little icy, probably needs more xanthan gum

Vanilla Chocolate Chip
1 can (13.5oz / 400ml) coconut cream
1 1/2 cup almond milk
1 tsp xanthan gum
1 tbps coconut sugar
1/2 cup agave nectar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup chocolate chips
ingredients: ~32oz
ice cream: ~40oz
overall good and a recipe I would use again
could potentially use even more vanilla or real vanilla bean for even better vanilla taste
less icy than the prior one but still a little bit, already 4x the xanthan gum from a similar recipe so need to play with the types of dairy free milk

Pistachio
1 can (13.5oz / 400ml) coconut cream
1 1/2 cup almond milk
1 tsp xanthan gum
2 tbsp coconut sugar
1/2 cup agave nectar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
3/4 cup pistachios
ingredients: ~40oz
ice cream: ~48oz
absolute disaster, had to boil the mixture with 1/2 cup of finely chopped pistachios and that gave it a strange consistency plus didn’t have fine mesh strainer and over-chopped the remaining pistachios so it tasted too strong and looked funky, didn’t even make the ice cream just tossed the mixture
