DOUBLE CHOCOLATE COCONUT CHIP ICE "DREAM"
This batch above I made last night!! Dreamy, right?
Ingredients
- 2 (13.5 oz) cans of full fat coconut milk
- 1 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup good quality unsweetened cocoa powder
- Dairy free dark chocolate bar like CHOCOLATE DREAM (chopped into chunks) http://www.tastethedream.com/products/category/493.php
Yield: About 2 1/2 cups
Instructions
- In a pot over medium heat, add all the ingredients and stir. Allow to simmer until thickened slightly, about 8 minutes.
- Place in a container and refrigerate until cold, about 4 hours.
- Add to an ice cream maker and churn until set, about 25minutes. Eat right away or freeze in a tupperware container with lid for a harder consistency is reached
*Note: I use a Cuisinart Ice Cream maker: churn time was 25 minutes, last 5 minutes I put in the chocolate chips
