Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream

Equipment

  • 9X5 loaf pan

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans full-fat coconut milk (this brand works best)
  • ½ cup raw cacao powder or cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon tapioca starch
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup + 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter

Instructions
 

  • Before turning on your burner, add coconut milk, raw cacao powder or cocoa powder, and tapioca starch to a medium saucepan. Whisk to blend. 
  • Then start cooking over medium heat, stirring frequently, until mixture starts to bubble. 
  • Remove from heat.
  • Stir in peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until everything is combined.
  • Allow the mixture to sit and come to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
  • Pour in a 9X5 loaf pan. Cover with Saran wrap or parchment paper so that the covering is touching the top of the liquid. Place in the freezer for at least 8 hours or ideally overnight. 
  • Before serving, allow to soften at room temperature for 10-15 minutes. Scoop and enjoy!
