In a medium saucepan, combine one can of full-fat coconut milk with the cocoa powder over medium heat. Whisk continuously until the cocoa powder is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt to the saucepan. Stir to combine and remove from heat.
Pour the mixture into a blender and add the second can of coconut milk and almond milk. Blend until smooth and fully incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to chill thoroughly.
When ready to churn, transfer the chilled mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically about 20-25 minutes.
While the ice cream is churning, gently warm the peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl for about 15-20 seconds to soften.
Once the ice cream is ready, layer half of it into a freezer-safe container. Drizzle half of the softened peanut butter over the ice cream.
Add the remaining ice cream on top and drizzle the rest of the peanut butter. Use a spoon or a knife to gently swirl the peanut butter into the ice cream.
Cover the container and freeze for at least 2 hours for a firmer consistency. Serve and enjoy your dairy-free chocolate peanut butter ice cream!
