Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream

May 2, 2016 by Ceara 34 Comments

Rich and decadent Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream made with only a handful of ingredients. Who knew making ice cream at home was so easy (and soooo good!)?

Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream

Do you own an ice cream maker? Okay, if I knew that homemade ice cream was so incredibly easy to make, I would’ve started making it ages ago. I actually borrowed by mom’s ice cream maker to make sure it’s an appliance I actually need. J and I moved into our new apartment in Toronto early March (and back to Canada last September) and my new kitchen is already splitting at the seams with kitchen gadgets and appliances. After a couple weeks of ice cream making, I’m convinced an ice cream maker is definitely worth the investment.

Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream

I mean look at that silky, creamy, fluffy and superrr chocolatey Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream. Just heavenly.

Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream
One thing I never do in my recipes is skimp on the chocolate. Because it’s good for you, my partner J is Belgian, and I’m a chocoholic. I used cacao powder in this Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream but a high-quality cocoa powder also works great. Cacao powder is a bit more expensive than cocoa powder but it is slightly less refined and the chocolate flavor is so just oh-so-rich and decadent. I love using it when I bake and it worked like magic in this homemade ice cream.

Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream

This Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream uses a few simple ingredients and is so easy to whip up you’ll wonder why you ever bothered with store-bought (and spending 9 dollars for a tub of vegan ice cream at the store!). And I LOVE hearing your feedback and seeing your lovely photos guys – if you make this Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream at home, snap a photo and tag me #CearasKitchen on Instagram.

Author: Ceara
Recipe type: Dessert
Ingredients
  • 3 cups full fat coconut milk (2 cans)
  • 2 tsp tapioca starch
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp instant coffee
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ¾ cup cacao powder (or cocoa powder)
  • ½ cup cane sugar
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
Directions
  1. In a small bowl, mix together tapioca starch with ¼ cup of the coconut milk until smooth. Warm the rest of the ingredients in a large pan (coconut milk, vanilla extract, cacao powder, coffee, sea salt, cane sugar, and maple syrup). Whisk over medium heat until the mixture starts to lightly simmer. Add the tapioca starch mixture and whisk until the mixtures begins to thicken (about 5 minutes).
  2. Pour mixture into a bowl and cover. Leave to cool in the fridge overnight or for an hour in the freezer. The ice cream mixture should be completely cool before mixing it in the ice cream maker.
  3. Add the mixture to your (frozen - see note) ice cream maker and mix for about 20-30 minutes until your ice cream turns into a soft serve consistency. Do not over-mix (if you notice your ice cream has begun to melt it is time to freeze it) or else your ice cream will become icy and will not be as creamy.
  4. Scoop ice cream into a glass dish (or loaf pan lined with parchment paper), cover and freeze for an hour or two until the ice cream is completely frozen. Scoop onto an ice cream cone, cover with chocolate sauce and enjoy!
Notes
1) Use only full-fat coconut milk in this recipe. Low-fat coconut milk will make icy (and not creamy) ice cream.
2) Make sure that your ice cream maker bowl is completely frozen before using it to make ice cream. It should be kept in the freezer overnight and there should not be any sloshing sound when you pick it up.
3) For the perfect ice cream scoop, take the ice cream out of the freezer and leave to soften for 2 minutes. Run your ice cream scoop under warm water and scoop by pressing hard into the ice cream - this guarantees a perfect scoop every time!

    Interesting post made here. One thing I would really like to say is that most professional job areas consider the Bachelor’s Degree just as the entry level requirement for an online college degree. Whilst Associate Certification are a great way to get started, completing ones Bachelors presents you with many entrance doors to various occupations, there are numerous on-line Bachelor Diploma Programs available by institutions like The University of Phoenix, Intercontinental University Online and Kaplan. Another issue is that many brick and mortar institutions give Online versions of their qualifications but often for a extensively higher fee than the organizations that specialize in online degree plans.

    One thing is that while you are searching for a student loan you may find that you’ll want a co-signer. There are many scenarios where this is correct because you will find that you do not have a past credit score so the bank will require that you’ve someone cosign the credit for you. Interesting post.

    The crux of your writing whilst sounding reasonable originally, did not sit well with me after some time. Somewhere within the sentences you actually managed to make me a believer unfortunately just for a very short while. I still have a problem with your leaps in assumptions and one might do nicely to fill in those gaps. If you actually can accomplish that, I will undoubtedly be impressed.

    I’ve been living on my own chocolate concoction– chocolate soy milk as the base- bananas blended in, along with approx one tablespoon cocoa powder per banana–at this point the soy milk is just enough to liquefy the bananas. that mixture is frozen. Then take about a cup of the choc soy milk, 1/2 lb of frozen strawberries and 1/2 – 3/4 cup of the frozen mix from before–blend them all together, mixture comes out a thick milk shake, not as creamy as ice cream, but it’s quick and easy. add some ground flax seeds to the first mix for a little extra nutrition.

    note the chocolate milk could be almond or whatever your preference, .

    I want to try this. I’m dairy intolerant and I’m allergic to coffee so I will leave out the coffee! Hopefully, it will be awesome anyway. Also, do you think it can be made without an ice cream freezer? Mine stopped working 9 years ago.

    Can you taste the coffee in this ice cream? And if so can you skip it?

      The coffee brings out the “chocolate” flavor in the ice cream, you cannot taste it in the final recipe.

      I am not sure! I have never tried this recipe with arrowroot starch. From what I’ve read online the results should be similar 🙂
