Making a vegan coconut-cream ice cream less "watery"/"icy"
I want my vegan coconut-cream-based ice cream less "watery"/"icy".
Which "available-by-every-supermarket" ingredient can be used to thicken "coconut cream" which is still not thick enough, to make coconut cream ice cream? Perhaps some easy to find dietary fiber or natural creamer.
I have found that adding jaggery paste made of coconut sugar helps to give a more of a creamy texture but still I need some more creamness and not from sugars :)

How do you feel about alcohol?
Adding alcohol (ethanol) will reduce the formation of ice crystals, and make the ice cream feel smoother and creamier.
As a bonus, there are a lot of flavors out there. I recommend Irish whiskey for chocolate or coffee flavored ice creams, for example.
Another useful ingredient, if they work for your flavor, is creamy peanut butter -- if you have a suitable blender, just toss peanuts into it and process until smooth. Mixed into your base, it will add protein chains that bind the fat together.
Finally, low-moisture tofu can work, and is flavor-neutral.
