How To MakeDiet Type: Plant-based
Shopping List
- 2 cups coconut cream (Note 1)
- 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon cane sugar
- 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon cane sugar
- 1 cup slivered almonds
- 1 cup finely chopped chocolate or mini chocolate chips
- 12 spinach leaves (for green color)
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract (not peppermint oil)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum (Note 2)
Instructions
- Step 1: 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 2: Remove from the heat and place in a high powered blender. Add the coconut cream, slivered almonds, and spinach. Blend on high power until very, very smooth.
- Step 3: Place the ice cream in an airtight container and refrigerate at least overnight, or up to 24 hours for best texture.
- Step 4: After chilling the ice cream, stir in the peppermint and vanilla extracts. Add the ice cream to an ice cream maker to churn for 45 minutes. In the last few minutes of churning, open the ice cream maker and pour in the chocolate bits. Scoop the soft ice cream into pints and 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.
