Ingredients
- 2 cups Full-fat canned coconut milk
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup Vegan chocolate protein powder
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Arrowroot powder or cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Vegan dark chocolate chips (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the coconut milk, almond milk, and cocoa powder until smooth.
Step 2
Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt to the saucepan. Whisk well to combine.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the arrowroot powder (or cornstarch) with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Slowly pour this mixture into the saucepan while whisking.
Step 4
Heat the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken slightly (about 5-7 minutes). Be sure not to let it boil.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the vegan chocolate protein powder until fully blended and smooth.
Step 6
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. If using vegan dark chocolate chips, stir them in once the mixture has cooled.
Step 7
Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to chill thoroughly.
Step 8
Once chilled, churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. This typically takes about 20-25 minutes.
Step 9
Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours to achieve a firm consistency.
Step 10
When ready to serve, let the ice cream soften at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping. Enjoy!
