Ingredients
- 550ml/1 pint coconut and almond dairy-free milk
- 160ml/5fl oz coconut cream
- 3-4 tbsp agave or maple syrup
- 2 tbsp smooth almond butter
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
- pinch salt
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp cornflour
Method
Pour 450ml/16fl oz of the coconut and almond milk, the coconut cream, syrup, almond butter and vanilla into a medium saucepan. Add the salt and slowly bring to a simmer, stirring, until smooth.
Whisk the cocoa, cornflour and reserved coconut and almond milk in a jug, until smooth. Add to the pan and continue to whisk until smooth. Cook at a gentle simmer, stirring constantly, until the mixture is the consistency of double cream.
Leave to cool before covering and leaving in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. If you don't have an ice cream maker, put it on a baking tray and freeze, whisking it every 2 hours.
Scoop the ice cream into a freezerproof container and freeze until firm.
