Equipment

  • 1 High Speed Blender I used my Vitamix Blender.
  • 1 Ice Cream Maker I used the 1.5 quart Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker.

Ingredients
  

  • 27 Ounces Room Temperature Full Fat Coconut Milk You'll need two cans of full fat coconut milk.
  • ¾ Cup Room Temperature Strongly Brewed Coffee I suggest using a French Press.
  • ½ Cup Coconut Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Cacao Powder
  • 2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • ½ Teaspoon Salt

Instructions
 

  • Start by adding full fat coconut milk, coffee, coconut sugar, cacao powder, vanilla extract, and salt into a high-powered blender. Blend the ice cream mixture on high until it's smooth and creamy.
  • Next, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn for 20-25 minutes.
  • Transfer the ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe container and chill in the freezer until you're ready to enjoy!

Notes

Expert Tips

  • If you don't have an ice cream machine, pour the ice cream mixture into a freezer safe container and freeze for about 4-6 hours or overnight.
  • When it comes out of the ice cream maker it has more of a soft serve consistency, but you can transfer it into a container and freeze for 30-60 minutes for harder ice cream.
  • The ice cream base for the Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker must be stored in the freezer for 24 hours prior to making the ice cream.
  • On a hot day this ice cream will melt quickly once removed from the ice cream maker. I recommend freezing longer so it can harden before scooping.
  • For best results I recommend using an ice cream maker, but you can use a no churn method by freezing the mixture for 6-8 hours or overnight.
  • DO NOT mix cold coffee with room temperature full fat coconut milk or it will not blend properly. All ingredients must be room temperature.

How to Store Leftovers

Store leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. If the container does not have a cover, it will get freezer burn.
Leave the ice cream at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
