Why we love this recipe with our cacao

Our ceremonial cacao is 100% cacao. That means, unlike cocoa powder, it isn't over processed & defatted. It's full of nutrients and the cacao butter is still present, which turns this chocolate ice cream into the real deal! Using these simple ingredients alongside our cacao makes for a healthy & decadent treat.

1 HOUR TO PREPARE

DESSERT

Upgrade the classic chocolate ice cream with this real chocolate (aka cacao!) ice cream with chocolate sauce on top! Very rich, so don't overdo this one. This recipe is good for at least 8 people. You can cut in half for a smaller batch.

Ingredients

Ice Cream:
3/4 Cup Ceremonial Cacao
2 Cans Full Fat Coconut Milk
2/3 Cup Maple Syrup
1.5 Tsp. Vanilla Extract
Chocolate Sauce:
1/4 Cup Coconut oil
1/4 Cup Ceremonial Cacao
1/4 Cup Maple Syrup

Directions

If using ice cream maker, freeze bowl 24hrs beforehand

In a pot, gently warm coconut milk. Turn off heat and add maple syrup, cacao & vanilla. Whisk until well incorporated

Place in fridge to cool for 1-2 hours

Pull out and pour into ice cream maker

To make without an ice cream maker, freeze a container beforehand. Then add the mixture to it and stir once every 30-45 minutes until creamy

To eat as soft serve, you can consume right away. If you want it harder, place back in the freezer for 2-3 hours. It will freeze harder than commercial ice cream, so give it a couple minutes to warm up before serving

To make the sauce, gently warm coconut oil in a pan. Once melted, add maple syrup & cacao. Whisk until smooth

Drizzle over ice cream in individual dishes
