Ingredients

• 2 cups Full-fat coconut milk
• 0.5 cup Cocoa powder
• 0.75 cup Coconut sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons Cold water
• 4 ounces Dark vegan chocolate, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut milk, cocoa powder, and coconut sugar.

Step 2

Stir the mixture continuously until the cocoa powder and sugar completely dissolve, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the chopped dark vegan chocolate to the saucepan and stir until it melts and blends smoothly with the mixture.

Step 4

In a small bowl, stir together the cornstarch and cold water until the cornstarch dissolves completely and forms a slurry with no lumps.

Step 5

Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan, continually stirring to prevent any clumps from forming.

Step 6

Continue stirring the mixture until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, approximately 3 to 5 minutes more.

Step 7

Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt for added flavor.

Step 8

Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature; then transfer it to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until completely chilled.

Step 9

After chilling, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches the desired ice cream consistency.

Step 10

Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2 to 4 hours before serving for a firmer texture.

Step 11

Scoop and serve the ice cream, optionally garnished with chocolate shavings or fresh berries.
