Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (13.5 oz each) Full-fat coconut milk
- 0.5 cup Cacao powder
- 0.5 cup Creamy natural peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional, dairy-free)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the full-fat coconut milk, cacao powder, creamy natural peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
Whisk the ingredients together until well combined and smooth, ensuring there are no lumps of cacao powder.
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more maple syrup if necessary.
Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the mixture for at least 3 hours or until thoroughly chilled.
Once chilled, transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency, typically 20-25 minutes.
If adding dark chocolate chips, fold them into the ice cream during the last 5 minutes of churning.
Transfer the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container with a lid and smooth the top with a spatula.
Cover the ice cream with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
