I've been on a quest to create the perfect vegan chocolate mint ice cream for years. I've tried dozens of different recipes, and this one is by far the best. It's rich and creamy, with a refreshing hint of mint. It's also made with just a few simple ingredients, and it's easy to make in an ice cream maker.

Prep time: 10 | Cook time: 30 | Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1 (13-ounce) can of full-fat coconut milk
• 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk
• 1/2 cup of unsweetened cacao powder
• 1/4 cup of maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon of mint extract
• Pinch of sea salt
• Chocolate shavings for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. In a blender, combine the coconut milk, almond milk, cacao powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, mint extract, and sea salt.
2. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.
3. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
4. Once the ice cream is churned, transfer it to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.
5. When ready to serve, scoop the ice cream into bowls and garnish with chocolate shavings, if desired.

Why It Works

• The combination of coconut milk and almond milk creates a rich and creamy base for the ice cream.
• The cacao powder gives the ice cream a deep chocolate flavor.
• The maple syrup sweetens the ice cream without making it too sweet.
• The vanilla and mint extracts add a subtle flavor that complements the chocolate.
• The sea salt helps to balance out the sweetness of the ice cream.
