Homemade Dairy Free Chocolate Chip Ice Cream.
This is the most delicious dairy free chocolate chip ice cream. It's rich and smooth, and loaded with lots of dark chocolate.
Ingredients
- 27 ounces full fat coconut milk or coconut cream
- 1 Tablespoon corn starch or potato starch
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
- pinch salt
- 3 ounces dairy free dark chocolate
Instructions
- If your ice cream maker has a freezer bowl, make sure you freeze it the night before you want to make this recipe.
- Use a sharp knife to make chocolate shavings or flakes. Carefully scrape the knife against the edge of the chocolate bar to scrape the chocolate into little shavings. Set aside.
- Pour most of the full fat coconut milk into a mixing bowl, keeping about a ½ cup of the milk in the can. Add the cornstarch to that ½ cup of coconut milk and whisk well with a fork. Add that to the bowl as well.
- Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt to the bowl of coconut milk. Use an immersion blender to mix well.
- Pour the liquid mixture into the ice cream maker. Churn according to the instruction manual. If you are using a model with a freezer bowl, it should take about 25 minutes.
- Five minutes before the ice cream should be done mixing, add the chocolate shavings to the ice cream maker.
- Continue to churn until the ice cream is firm and frozen. Serve immediately, or scoop into a freezer safe container to store in the freezer. If for some reason your ice cream isn't as firm as you would like, just put it in a freezer safe container and freeze for about an hour to firm it up before serving.
Notes
This ice cream is best eaten right away, but it cane be stored in the freezer for up to one month. If you do freeze it, it will get very hard, so be sure to thaw it out before attempting to scoop it.
Full fat coconut milk must be used in this recipe. If you use a different non-dairy milk, it will create an icy texture, or possibly not firm up at all.
If you can't have corn, you can leave the cornstarch out, or use potato starch instead.
