Chocolate coconut ice cream is creamy and delicious dairy-free ice cream!  Just a few ingredients are needed for this vegan ice cream!  

Chocolate Coconut Milk Ice Cream - 24 Carrot KitchenThis is a rich, decadent, chocolate, coconut milk ice cream.  There is a story about how this ice cream came about and why I started making my own.  Back in the spring, I changed my diet and went gluten and dairy-free.  Chocolate Milk Coconut Ice Cream - 24 Carrot Kitchen

How to make:

  1.  Gather and measure the ingredients.  Pour the chocolate chips into a heat-proof bowl.
  2. Pour coconut milk and coconut cream into a medium-sized saucepan and turn to low heat.  Stir until combined and melted.
  3. Pour coconut milk over chocolate chips to melt them and stir well.  
  4. Turn off the heat and add in the vanilla extract.
  5. Add the mixture to an ice cream maker and prepare ice cream according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  6. Stir in additional chocolate chips if using.
  7. Pour into a freezable container.  If consumed immediately, it will have a soft-serve consistency.  If you freeze for a few hours, the ice cream will become hard and you can scoop to serve.

Coconut Milk Ice Cream:

  • Mint Chocolate Chip Coconut Milk Ice Cream
  • Paleo Pumpkin Ice Cream

Dairy-Free Ice Cream:

  • Banana Ice Cream
  • Chocolate Banana Ice Cream
  • Peanut Butter Banana Ice Cream

Desserts

Tips and Techniques:

  • Place the bowl in the refrigerator while ice cream is being made in the ice cream maker to help keep ice cream cold.
  • Take the ice cream out of the refrigerator about 10 minutes prior to serving as it will get very hard in the freezer.
  • Store ice cream in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

 

For a harder consistency, place coconut milk ice cream in the freezer for a few hours.  Right out of the ice cream maker, it is more like soft serve, all creamy and delicious as well.

Ingredients
  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (dairy-free)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. Place the chocolate chips in a small heatproof bowl. Set aside.

  2. Place the coconut milk in a small pot over medium-low heat. Heat this mixture until warm, but not boiling.

  3. Pour the heated coconut milk over chocolate chips, as chips melt, whisk to combine coconut milk and chocolate. Add the vanilla extract and stir to combine. It may take several minutes to fully incorporate.

  4. Cover chocolate mixture and place in the fridge for several hours or overnight. You want this mixture to get really cold before putting in the ice cream maker.

  5. Once cold, put the chocolate mixture in ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer's directions.

  6. Mine takes about 10-12 minutes in the ice cream maker to become rich and creamy. You can eat as is and it will be like soft serve. Or, for harder, scoopable ice cream, place mixture in the freezer (in a covered bowl) for a few hours.

  7. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes

Optional - for chocolate chip ice cream add 1/8 - 1/4 mini chocolate chips.

    Will this work in a Vitamix instead of an ice cream maker?

      I have not tried it in a Vitamix. The ice cream maker uses a pre-frozen bowl so I don't think it would come out the same.
