In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the coconut milk and cocoa powder. Whisk until the cocoa powder is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
Add the honey and continue to whisk until thoroughly mixed. Stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt.
Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Once small bubbles appear around the edges, turn off the heat.
Allow the mixture to cool for about 5 minutes, then transfer it to a blender. Blend for a minute to ensure it's smooth and creamy.
Pour the mixture into a bowl, add the dark chocolate chips, and, if using, the chopped nuts. Stir to evenly distribute the chocolate and nuts.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until cold.
Once chilled, transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Once the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency, transfer it to a lidded container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up.
Serve the Paleo Chocobar Ice Cream with additional nuts or chocolate chips as desired and enjoy!
