Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 ml Coconut milk (full fat)
- 60 g Cocoa powder
- 150 g Granulated sugar
- 1.5 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.25 tsp Salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, whisk together the coconut milk, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt until smooth.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to gently simmer.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a smooth slurry.
Pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan and continue cooking the mixture, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes or until it thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the mixture into a heatproof bowl and allow it to cool to room temperature. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, ensuring the wrap touches the surface of the mixture to prevent a skin from forming.
Refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
Once chilled, transfer the mixture to your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
If you prefer a firmer texture, transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-3 hours before serving.
Scoop and enjoy your nut-free vegan chocolate ice cream!
