Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 ml Full-fat coconut milk
- 240 ml Coconut cream
- 50 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 120 grams Dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa), chopped
- 120 ml Maple syrup
- 10 ml Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Sea salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, heat the coconut milk and coconut cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Do not boil.
Whisk in the unsweetened cocoa powder until fully incorporated and smooth.
Add the chopped dark chocolate and stir until it is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix well to combine.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly, then transfer it to a blender and blend on high speed for about 1 minute to ensure everything is well combined and smooth.
Pour the mixture into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until thoroughly chilled.
Once chilled, pour the chocolate mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually for about 20-25 minutes, until it reaches the consistency of soft serve ice cream.
Transfer the ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm enough to scoop.
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
