Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 ml full-fat coconut milk
- 200 g roasted hazelnuts
- 30 g cocoa powder
- 100 ml maple syrup
- 5 ml vanilla extract
- 2 g sea salt
- 100 g dairy-free dark chocolate, finely chopped
- 15 g cornstarch
- 30 ml cold water
Instructions
Begin by preparing your hazelnuts. In a food processor, blend the roasted hazelnuts until they turn into a smooth hazelnut butter. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Scrape down the sides as needed.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry, and set it aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, cocoa powder, hazelnut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Stir the mixture over medium heat until it starts to simmer.
Once simmering, add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan and cook, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly. Then, stir in the chopped dairy-free dark chocolate until it is completely melted and incorporated into the mixture.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the mixture to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until fully cooled.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Transfer the ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for at least 2 hours for a firmer texture.
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
