Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 ml Coconut milk, full-fat
- 200 ml Heavy cream
- 80 g Erythritol
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp Xanthan gum
- 150 g Dark chocolate (minimum 85% cacao)
- 2 tbsp Coconut oil
- 50 g Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut milk and heavy cream. Stir occasionally until it begins to steam but do not let it boil.
Whisk in erythritol until completely dissolved, then add vanilla extract and xanthan gum. Continue to whisk until the mixture thickens slightly.
Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely chilled.
Once chilled, churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper. Spread the churned ice cream evenly into the dish and level the surface with a spatula.
Freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together in a double boiler or in brief intervals in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring between each interval until smooth.
Once the ice cream is firm, remove it from the freezer. Cut into bars of desired size.
Dip each bar into the melted chocolate, letting any excess drip off. Quickly sprinkle with chopped nuts if using before the chocolate sets.
Place the bars back onto the parchment-lined dish. Return to the freezer for an additional hour to fully set the chocolate.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
