Prep Time:5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 150 ml water
  • ½ cup 100g sugar
  • ½ cup 50g cocoa powder
  • 400 ml coconut milk 1 tin, full-fat

Instructions

  • Bring the water, sugar, and cocoa to the boil in a small pot until the sugar has dissolved. Allow the mix to cool to room temperature.
  • Add the coconut milk and stir to combine thoroughly.
  • Pour cooled mixture into a large ziplock bag. Place the bag on a tray, flatten it out, and seal. Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Once frozen, remove from the bag and break into chunks. Place in the bowl of a food processor and whizz for 30 seconds to 1 minute until smooth and creamy.
  • Scrape down the bowl with a spatula and transfer to a pre-frozen metal container. Smooth the surface and freeze until solid, about 2-3 hours.
  • Remove from freezer 5-10 minutes before serving to soften slightly.

Notes

  • A splash of alcohol (tequila, orange liqueur, or Baileys) can be added, but only 1-2 tablespoons maximum to avoid interfering with freezing.
  • Pre-freezing your metal container helps prevent melting after processing.
  • For soft-serve consistency, eat straight from the food processor.
  • Use the best quality cocoa powder you can afford—it makes a significant difference.
Servings: 600 ml
