An ice cream maker is ideal here to get the perfectly blended, soft-and-creamy consistency we all know and love. But if you’re not fussed about consistency and you just want a rich, cold, chocolatey treat, try simply freezing the mixture (without churning) and see if that floats your boat!
You will need
Serves 12
- 1/2 cup cacao powder
- 2 x 400mL coconut cream (full fat)
- 1 x 400mL coconut milk
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/2 cup hulled tahini
- 1 tablespoon vodka (optional)*

Directions
-
Step 1
Get prepared the night before by placing the ice cream maker in the freezer and chill the coconut cream and milk in the fridge.
-
Step 2
The next day, add coconut cream, coconut milk, cacao powder, maple syrup and tahini (and vodka, if using) to a blender and blend until completely smooth. Transfer to a large metal bowl, and chill in the freezer for 15 mins.
-
Step 3
In the meantime, set up your ice-cream maker. After 15 minutes, pour chilled ice cream mixture into your ice-cream maker and churn for approximately 45 mins (or follow your ice cream maker’s instructions).
-
Step 4
Transfer ice cream to a 2L metal container, then press a layer of baking paper onto the exposed ice cream to protect it from freezer smells. Freeze for at least 3 hours, before serving.
Hot tip!
Vodka helps the ice cream set at a softer consistency and prevents ice crystals from forming. It is optional, but if you’re OK with small amounts of alcohol, we do recommend adding it.
