Notes

INGREDIENT NOTES
  • Coconut milk: Use full fat coconut milk.
  • Cocoa powder: Use unsweetened cocoa powder. You can use dark cocoa, but the ice cream will taste more like dark chocolate ice cream. 
  • Sweetener: Confectioners' sugar, maple syrup, honey or other similar honey work great. 
If you replace the sugar with a low sugar substitute, the nutritional information will be different.
  • If you want to chill it quicker, you can churn in an ice cream maker. 
  • Top with your favorite ice cream toppings like cocao nibs, fruit, peanut butter sauce or sprinkles.
