Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream

A creamy, chocolatey vegan ice cream made with just three ingredients!
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Makes: 10 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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!!

Notes

*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.
