Ingredients

• 2 cans Full-fat coconut milk
• 0.5 cup Raw honey
• 1.5 teaspoons Mint extract
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Spinach leaves (optional, for color)
• 0.5 cup Dark chocolate (85% cacao or higher)
• 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt

Directions

Step 1

Chill the cans of full-fat coconut milk in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight to thicken the cream.

Step 2

Open the chilled coconut milk cans and scoop only the solidified cream into a blender. Discard the liquid or save it for another use.

Step 3

Add raw honey, mint extract, vanilla extract, 0.25 cup of spinach leaves (for natural color), and sea salt to the blender.

Step 4

Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy, ensuring the spinach leaves are fully blended, if used.

Step 5

Pour the cream mixture into a mixing bowl and set aside.

Step 6

Chop the dark chocolate into small chunks or chips using a sharp knife.

Step 7

Stir the dark chocolate chunks gently into the mint cream mixture with a spatula until evenly distributed.

Step 8

Transfer the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 15-20 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

Step 9

If a firmer ice cream is desired, transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours.

Step 10

Allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping and serving. Enjoy your dairy-free, Paleo mint chip ice cream!
