Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 2 cans coconut milk (light or full fat)
  • 3 Tablespoons maple syrup or agave syrup
  • 1 ¼ cup of Xylitol (sugar)
  • ⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large egg yolks

Instruction

  • In a large saucepan on low heat, whisk the coconut milk and maple syrup until warm. Transfer to a medium-size heat proof bowl and add the Xylitol and cocoa powder and mix until smooth, then whisk in the egg yolks. Pour chocolate mixture back into saucepan and cook the custard over low-medium heat whisking constantly for about 6 minutes until very hot and thickened. Do not let it boil.
  • Remove from heat and put in a glass container. Let cool. If not using an ice cream maker- cover container and place in the freezer. Stir about every ½ hour for 2 hours. Then freeze an additional 4-6 hours (6-8 total), until firm.
  • If using an ice cream maker- skip Step 3. Freeze the ice cream in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturers' directions. Transfer to a glass or plastic container and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.
  • When ready to serve let set for about 10-15 minutes until soft enough to handle. Garnish with unsweetened coconut flakes or nuts.
