Ingredients
  • 14 ounces full fat coconut milk (chilled)
  • 2 cups vanilla almond milk (chilled)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon agar agar
Instructions
  1. 1

    Blend coconut milk, almond milk, sugar, cocoa, and xanthan gum in a blender until well combined. Refrigerate for 2 hours.

     

  2. 2

    Once the ice cream mixture has chilled, transfer it to an ice cream maker and prepare according to the manufacturer's instructions.

     

  3. 3

    If you want to add nuts, chocolate chips, and marshmallows, do so in the last few minutes of churning, while the ice cream is still soft enough to incorporate them.

     

    Note: If you don't have an ice cream maker, transfer the mixture to a medium-sized bowl with a lid and place it in the freezer. Remove the ice cream and whisk it vigorously for 1 to 2 minutes every hour for 5 to 6 hours or until set..
  4. 4

    Cover the ice cream with plastic wrap, ensuring it is pressed firmly onto the top of the ice cream, then seal it with a lid.

     

    Store in the freezer for 4 to 6 hours before serving. Keep frozen.
