Ingredients
- 800 ml Full-fat coconut milk
- 240 ml Coconut cream
- 50 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 120 grams Dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa), chopped
- 120 ml Maple syrup
- 10 ml Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Sea salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, heat the coconut milk and coconut cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Do not boil.
Step 2
Whisk in the unsweetened cocoa powder until fully incorporated and smooth.
Step 3
Add the chopped dark chocolate and stir until it is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Step 4
Stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix well to combine.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly, then transfer it to a blender and blend on high speed for about 1 minute to ensure everything is well combined and smooth.
Step 6
Pour the mixture into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until thoroughly chilled.
Step 7
Once chilled, pour the chocolate mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually for about 20-25 minutes, until it reaches the consistency of soft serve ice cream.
Step 8
Transfer the ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm enough to scoop.
Step 9
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
