Shopping List
-
For the Base
- 2 cups coconut cream (Note 1)
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons agave syrup or date syrup
- 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons cane sugar or coconut sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum (Note 2) For the Chocolate
- 1/4 cane sugar or coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder For the Mix-Ins
- 1 cup chocolate or chocolate chunks, chopped
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (optional, for swirling)
Instructions
- Step 1: Let's start with the chocolate. Combine the 1/4 cup of sugar and 1/4 cup of water in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and then turn off the heat. Whisk in 1/4 cup of cocoa powder, until smooth. Bring to room temperature.
- Step 2: While the chocolate cools, let's make the base. Combine the sugar, agave, xanthan gum, and 1 cup of cold water in a medium saucepan. Turn on the heat to medium and stir until the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Do not let the mixture bubble or boil.
- Step 3: Remove from the heat and place in a high powered blender. Add the coconut cream and 1/2 cup of peanut butter.
- Step 4: Pour in the cooled chocolate mixture and blend everything on high power until very, very smooth.
- Step 5: Place the ice cream in an airtight container and refrigerate at least overnight, or up to 24 hours for best texture.
- Step 6: After chilling the ice cream, place the ice cream in an ice cream maker to churn for 45 minutes.
- Step 7: Meanwhile, use a knife to chop the chocolate chunks into small pieces or slivers. In the last few minutes of churning, open the ice cream maker and pour in the chocolate bits.
- Step 8: Scoop the soft ice cream into pints, alternating with dollops of the optional peanut butter and ice cream. Use a small knife to swirl the peanut butter over the ice cream layers. Freeze until firm.
- Serve: Soften at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before scooping. Enjoy.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: We recommend using carton-boxed coconut cream from Arroy-D for the creamiest texture. We do not recommend substituting with almond or soy milk, as it will make the ice cream much less creamy. Note 2: Xanthan gum helps the ice cream keep its texture. It can be omitted if needed.
