Begin by preparing the brownies. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a small baking dish with parchment paper.
In a blender, combine Medjool dates, unsweetened almond butter, 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder, a pinch of salt, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, and the baking soda. Blend until smooth.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 15-20 minutes until set. Let the brownies cool completely, then chop into small chunks.
For the ice cream base, combine the full-fat coconut milk, almond milk, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder in a blender. Blend until smooth.
Pour the liquid mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This typically takes 20-25 minutes.
A few minutes before the churning is complete, add the chopped brownie pieces and vegan chocolate chips to the mixture.
Once the churning is finished, transfer the ice cream to a container and freeze for an additional 1-2 hours to firm up.
Scoop and enjoy your Vegan Brownie Ice Cream with your favorite vegan toppings!
