Ingredients
- 2 cans (14 oz each) Full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup Fresh spinach leaves
- 1 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Peppermint extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Vegan dark chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
In a blender, combine the coconut milk, fresh spinach leaves, fresh mint leaves, maple syrup, vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and salt.
Step 2
Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and the greens are thoroughly incorporated, creating a vibrant green mixture.
Step 3
Pour the mixture into a medium-sized saucepan and heat over medium-low heat, stirring gently, until you see small bubbles starting to form around the edges. Do not boil.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Step 5
Once cooled, cover the mixture with plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until completely cold.
Step 6
Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically about 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Step 7
In the last few minutes of churning, add the vegan dark chocolate chips to the ice cream maker so they mix evenly.
Step 8
Transfer the ice cream into an airtight container, smoothing out the top, and cover with parchment paper or plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Step 9
Freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until firm.
Step 10
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
