Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream
A creamy, chocolatey vegan ice cream made with just three ingredients!
Prep Time: 10 minutes mins
Cook Time: 5 minutes mins
Total Time: 15 minutes mins
Makes: 10 servings
- 2/3 cup water
- 1/2 cup caster sugar
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 400 ml coconut milk about 1 and 3/4 cup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract optional
In a small saucepan, combine the water, sugar and cocoa powder. Bring to a boil on low heat until the sugar and cocoa have dissolved. Set aside to cool.<br></br>
Once cooled, stir in the coconut milk and vanilla extract until well combined. Pour the mixture carefully into a ziploc bag (use two bags if needed), seal and place flat in the freezer for 6 to 8 hours or until completely hardened.<br></br>
Break this frozen mass into pieces with your fingers and add them to the bowl of a food processor fitted with a sharp metal blade. Pulse for a few minutes until completely smooth and creamy, the amount of time will vary from machine to machine. I don't know if a blender will work as well but you can try if needed.<br></br>
Pour this mixture into a metal tin (I used my loaf pan) and freeze overnight. Scoop and serve!!
*Prep-time does not include freezing time.
*Given that there are such few ingredients, use the best ones you can. I like Dabur coconut milk and Hersheys/Lindt/Ghirardelli for cocoa.
