Ingredients
Units
Scale
14 oz can full fat coconut milk
1 1/2 c nondairy milk*
3/4 c agave nectar
1/4 c canola oil
1 tsp peppermint extract
3/4 tsp guar gum
1/4 tsp salt
1 c nondairy chocolate chips*
Instructions
- Blend: Place the coconut milk, nondairy milk, agave nectar, canola oil, peppermint extract, guar gum and salt into a blender. Blend for about 1 minute or until a smooth, homogenous mixture comes together. Transfer the ice cream base to a sealable container and place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours.
- Churn: Pour the ice cream base into the drum of an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer instructions*. Once ice cream is thick, transfer to a sealable, freezer-safe container. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Freeze: Cover the ice cream with plastic wrap. You want the plastic to be touching the ice cream. This will help prevent freezer burn. Seal the container and place in the freezer to chill overnight. Allow ice cream to sit out for 10-15 minutes before scooping and serving.
Notes
*Ice cream will keep in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
*The nondairy milk you choose for this recipe should be unflavored and unsweetened. Almond milk, oat milk and soy milk work well.
*I like to chop up the chocolate chips a little before folding them into the ice cream. This gives a little more variation in size. I’ll then add the chocolate chips to a colander with small holes and shake it around to eliminate the chocolate “dust.”
*All ice cream makers are different but many require you to freeze the drum for 8 hours before use. Be sure to read your ice cream maker’s instructions before proceeding with this recipe.
*If you find that you’re missing the green color, add a few drops of green vegan food coloring to the ice cream base when blending.
