EQUIPMENT:

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 cups coconut milk (full-fat)
• One tsp vanilla (extract)
• Half cup PB (natural)
• ⅓ cup maple syrup
• Quarter cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
• Salt (just a pinch)

INGREDIENT NOTES:

COCONUT MILK:

• We require creaminess for making ice creams. Ice creams also need fat to prepare. This coconut milk can provide both. Since we cannot use dairy, we use vegan milk. This is a good product for making this recipe. For an alternative option, you can use thick cashew milk.

PEANUT BUTTER:

• PB is the base flavor in this ice cream. It makes the dessert rich. Peanut butter includes healthy fats in the ice cream as well. Peanut butter naturally adds a nutty taste. Another substitute is sunflower seed butter or cashew butter.

MAPLE SYRUP:

• You can mix it easily in the blender. This provides its natural sweetness to the ice cream. If you require something else, you can utilize date or agave syrup.

UNSWEETENED COCOA POWDER:

• This is also the main flavor in this dessert. This is completely vegan as well. You will not feel the need to include sugar. If you desire a substitute, use cocoa powder (raw). The taste will become a little bitter with its use.

VANILLA EXTRACT:

• When we include this in the ice cream mix, it makes the taste better. Using vanilla powder instead of this is also fine.

SALT:

• Using salt in the ice cream mix can also enhance the taste. It can maintain the extra sweetness in the dessert. You can utilize either pink salt or sea salt as substitutes.

1. First, you need a blender.
2. Then include all the products inside it.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:

• You can give this ice cream a nice presentation by including some crushed nuts over it.
• Use vegan chocolate chips to spread them over the dessert. This will enhance the chocolate taste further.
• Spreading melted vegan chocolate over the dessert will provide a fancy look.
• You can either have this ice cream in a bowl or use a waffle cone. Both ways will serve the dessert nicely.

TIPS:

• When gathering the ingredients for this recipe, make sure to use coconut milk with full-fat. This will provide you with a good ice cream texture.
• Keep mixing the ice cream every hour. This way, you will get a creamy texture rather than a crystalline one.
• After your ice cream is completely ready, wait for some time. Then take a scoop and scoop the ice cream out of the box.
• If, by any chance, your ice cream has crystals, you can just put it in the blender again.

STORAGE INFORMATION:

FRIDGE:

• If you refrigerate your ice cream, it will definitely melt. Hence, it is not a good option.

FREEZER:

• Keep your dessert in the freezer for just 14 days. Utilize a tight freezer box. Place some parchment paper over it. This can help the ice cream avoid crystals.

FAQs:

Do I need an ice cream maker to make this dessert?
