Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 1 cup brewed coffee
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chunks
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, brewed coffee, and sugar. Whisk thoroughly until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Add vanilla extract to the liquid mixture and stir to incorporate, ensuring an even distribution of flavor throughout the base.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically 20-25 minutes, until the mixture reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- During the last 2-3 minutes of churning, gradually add the chocolate chunks, allowing them to be evenly distributed throughout the ice cream.
- Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container, using a spatula to spread it evenly.
- Cover the container with a tight-fitting lid or plastic wrap, ensuring minimal air exposure.
- Freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to firm up and develop a rich, creamy texture.
- Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
Tips
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better your coffee and chocolate, the more incredible your ice cream will taste.
- Ensure your coconut milk is well-chilled before mixing to help the churning process.
- If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the mixture and manually stir every hour to break up ice crystals.
- For extra richness, consider using dark chocolate chunks for a more intense flavor profile.
- Allow the ice cream to soften slightly before serving to achieve the perfect creamy texture.
- Store the ice cream in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn and maintain its delicious taste.
