  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk (rich, chilled overnight)
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup (dark, robust flavor)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (pure, aromatic)
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt (fine, to balance sweetness)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sunflower seed butter and maple syrup until smooth and fully incorporated.
  2. Open the chilled coconut milk, scoop out the solid cream into the bowl, and reserve the liquid for another use. Tip: Chilling the coconut milk ensures a thicker, creamier texture.
  3. Add the vanilla extract and sea salt to the bowl, then use an electric mixer to beat the mixture on high for 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan or airtight container, smoothing the top with a spatula. Tip: Lining the pan with parchment paper makes removal easier.
  5. Freeze for at least 6 hours, or until firm. Tip: For the creamiest texture, let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping.

Lusciously creamy with a deep, nutty flavor, this ice cream is a dream on its own or drizzled with extra sunflower seed butter. Try sandwiching it between two cookies for an epic ice cream sandwich twist.

minutes
Cooking time

minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 slices of thick-cut brioche bread, slightly stale
  • 1/2 cup of smooth sunflower seed butter (Sunbutter)
  • 2 large farm-fresh eggs
  • 1/2 cup of creamy oat milk
  • 1 tsp of pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp of ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp of unsalted butter, for frying
  • Maple syrup and fresh berries, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, oat milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until fully combined.
  2. Spread a generous layer of Sunbutter on one side of each brioche slice, then sandwich them together to form two stacks.
  3. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tbsp of butter until it sizzles but doesn’t brown.
  4. Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for 10 seconds per side to ensure even coating without becoming soggy.
  5. Place the soaked sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Add the remaining butter to the skillet as needed, flipping only once to maintain that perfect crust.
  7. Remove from heat and let rest for a minute before slicing diagonally—this keeps the Sunbutter from oozing out too quickly.

Forget basic French toast; this version is all about that contrast—crispy on the outside, luxuriously soft inside, with a nutty depth that pairs shockingly well with tart berries and a drizzle of syrup. Try it with a sprinkle of sea salt for an extra flavor pop.
