Instructions
  • Reduce the maple syrup: In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, simmer the maple syrup, stirring occasionally, until it reduces by about one-third. This takes 8 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool completely, stirring occasionally. You should have about ½ cup (120 ml) once reduced.
  • Blend the base: Once the syrup is cool, add it to a blender or food processor along with the oat cream, peanut butter, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  • Freeze: Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or freezer-safe container. Smooth the top, cover, and freeze for at least 4 to 6 hours or overnight until firm.
  • Serve: Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes to soften slightly before scooping. Top with chocolate shavings if using.
Notes

Tips & Variations

  • Nut-free version: Use sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter.
  • Extra texture: Swirl in melted chocolate, crushed cookies, or chopped peanuts before freezing.
  • Creaminess tip: Use oat cream (not oat milk) for the richest, smoothest result. If you can't find oat cream, canned coconut milk works well too.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month.
