How to Make It
Alright, let’s whip up some seriously indulgent vegan double dark chocolate ice cream that’ll have you questioning why you ever thought dairy was the only way to go.
Start by tossing 150g of cashews, 3 tablespoons of good-quality cocoa powder, 150ml of warm water, and 1 tablespoon of pectin into your blender. Blend that baby on high until it’s silky smooth and heavenly – like chocolate silk pajamas for your taste buds.
Set this luscious base aside while you move on to the next step (because multitasking is how vegan magic happens).
Now, grab a medium saucepan and spoon in 300ml of coconut cream – the MVP of plant-based creaminess. Add 150g of golden caster sugar and 200g of vegan dark chocolate squares.
Heat everything gently, stirring like a mad scientist, until the sugar disappears and the chocolate melts into a rich, dreamy pool of goodness.
Meanwhile, mix 2 tablespoons of that chocolate-coconut concoction with 2 tablespoons of cornflour in a small bowl until it turns into a smooth, thick paste. Stir this paste back into the saucepan.
Keep the heat low and stir for about 5 to 7 minutes until you see steam rising – that’s your cue that the magic thickening is happening.
Once everything is combined and velvety, you’ve basically got yourself the creamiest, most decadent vegan ice cream base ever. Don’t forget to pair it with Nutty Chocolate Truffles for an extra indulgent dessert experience!
Freeze it, savor it, and bask in the glory of plant-powered chocolate bliss.
