Ingredients
- 2 14 -ounce cans coconut cream OR full- fat coconut milk
- 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa or cacao powder powder
- 14 -16 ounces pitted dates ((if not sticky and moist, soak in warm water for 10 minutes then drain))
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 ounce espresso ((cooled))
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- Cacao nibs
Steps
-
Place a large mixing bowl in the freezer to chill for 10 minutes.
-
In the meantime, add moist, pitted dates to a food processor and process until small bits remain. Then add hot water a little at a time until it forms a thick paste. Set aside.
-
Without tipping the cans, scoop out the coconut cream from the cans of coconut cream OR coconut milk, reserving the clear liquid for other uses. Place in chilled mixing bowl.
-
NOTE: If you're using coconut milk, you'll likely use less sweetener because there's less volume.
-
Using a mixer, whip until creamy and smooth. Then add cocoa powder, vanilla, almond milk, and half of the date paste. Whip until fully incorporated.
-
Taste and adjust flavors as needed. I ended up adding most of the date paste and a little more cocoa powder.
-
Transfer to a parchment-lined freezer-safe container and cover loosely with plastic wrap, then foil to help freeze.
-
You can take this out in a couple of hours for a chilled mousse-like ice cream. Freeze overnight for a firmer ice cream.
-
Set out for at least 20 minutes prior to scooping, and use a scoop warmed under hot water for a proper scoop.
-
Will keep in the freezer for up to one week, but best when fresh.
