The coconut milk makes a creamy non-dairy ice cream, which is hard to come by in non-dairy frozen desserts. It also adds a delicious coconut flavor. Other non-dairy milks can be substituted, but the resulting ice cream will be icier, less creamy, and also harder when allowed to freeze in the freezer. The amount of chocolate can be reduced for a less “dark” chocolate ice cream.

Dark Chocolate Ice Cream
non-dairy, naturally sweetened

Makes 2 quarts

• (3) 15- or 16-ounce cans unsweetened coconut milk (not light)
• 1 cup cocoa powder, Dutch Process preferred
• 3/4 cup raw agave
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• optional add-ins**

Combine all ingredients (except add-ins) in blender. Blend thoroughly. Chill in the refrigerator or freezer to make sure it is all quite cold.

Add to ice cream maker, following manufacturer’s directions for churning. Add the add-ins during the last few minutes of churning.

For soft serve ice cream, eat immediately. For harder ice cream, transfer to an airtight container and freeze for several hours to a day, depending on degree of hardness desired. If frozen, let sit out for 5 to 10 minutes to soften up sufficiently for scooping.
