Here’s a little recipe I put together yesterday in an attempt to ease a craving for mint ice cream. It came out very good and has no dairy or soy in it, so everyone in the family can eat it.
In a blender blend:
2 cans (13.5oz) Full Fat Coconut Milk
2 heaping Tbsp. cocoa
1 tsp. Vanilla extract
2 tsp. Mint extract
3 Tbsp Agave syrup
Blend until fully mixed. Then stir in 1/3 cup of chocolate chips. Pour into a bowl/dish/tupperwear suitable for freezing and place in the freezer. I stirred it every hour for ~6 hours, until I went to bed and left it in the fridge over night. It may do fine if you just leave it in the freezer without stirring, but I don’t know. (I don’t have an ice cream machine, and the freezer method seemed to work just fine) In the morning, I had a delicious spoonful of mint ice cream and was even better than the store bought!!!
You could make all kinds of variations to this, as long as you have the basic coconut milk…. like vanilla and fresh fruit, or vanilla and cookie dough chunks… etc.
Let me know if you come up with any that you like!
Yum! I am making some right now. I don’t have cocoa powder or mint extract so I played around a bit. I infused fresh mint into the coconut milk and left out the cocoa. I can’t wait until it is done.
This sounds pretty tasty!
Soooo good! Thank you for the recipe.
wow this looks yummy! i recently indulged in Earth Fare’s raw mint chocolate chip pudding. According to the label they used similar ingredients…except coconut oil instead of milk…and their base was raw cashews…I might try to figure out how they make it.
Hey June! I’ve tried that recipe too! Here’s what I came up with: https://dirtundermynails.com/index.php?s=cashew&submit=Do+It
I tried some ‘ice cream’ called coconut bliss the other day and loved it, then I read the ingredients, all organic
Coconut milk
coconut flakes
agave syrup
vanilla
very similar to the one you just made!
So I decided to make it myself, you can’t even tell the difference!! It’s so yummy and so refreshing! And I don’t get a stomache ache from it like most ice cream. I’ve thought of adding berries. It sounds like maybe you have an abundance of blackberries to try in it, or maybe some raspberries.. my mouth is watering…
I’ve also heard of people making a cashew ‘ice cream’ but cant find a recipe… I’ll have to keep hunting
