Ingredients
  

For the Ice Cream Base
  • 2 cans full-fat coconut milk Provides a creamy texture and rich coconut flavor
  • 1 cup sugar Sweetens the ice cream perfectly; switch to plant-based sweeteners for a vegan option
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Enhances all flavors without overpowering
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Adds aromatic depth
For the Crunch
  • 1 cup toasted coconut chips Brings a delightful crunch; can substitute with shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate Make sure to choose dairy-free for a vegan-friendly treat

Equipment

  • Medium Saucepan
  • Ice cream maker
  • Freezer-safe container

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk together 2 cans of full-fat coconut milk, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the sugar dissolves, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in pure vanilla extract.
  2. Once the coconut base has cooled, pour it into your ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to churn, which takes about 20-25 minutes.
  3. Gently fold in toasted coconut chips and broken pieces of dark chocolate into the ice cream base with a spatula.
  4. Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top with a spatula, and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
  5. When ready to serve, take the ice cream out of the freezer and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. Scoop and serve.
