Ingredients
- 800 ml Coconut milk (full fat)
- 60 g Cocoa powder
- 150 g Granulated sugar
- 1.5 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.25 tsp Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized saucepan, whisk together the coconut milk, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt until smooth.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to gently simmer.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a smooth slurry.
Step 4
Pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan and continue cooking the mixture, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes or until it thickens slightly.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 6
Pour the mixture into a heatproof bowl and allow it to cool to room temperature. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, ensuring the wrap touches the surface of the mixture to prevent a skin from forming.
Step 7
Refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
Step 8
Once chilled, transfer the mixture to your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Step 9
If you prefer a firmer texture, transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-3 hours before serving.
Step 10
Scoop and enjoy your nut-free vegan chocolate ice cream!
