Is coconut milk or coconut cream better for ice cream?

For the creamiest fudgesicles, use full fat coconut milk because it will help prevent forming ice crystals in the mixture. Low-fat coconut milk or other non-dairy milks will create icier popsicles. Or use coconut cream.

How to thicken coconut milk for ice cream?

Using a small amount of cornstarch helps suspend the fat evenly throughout the mixture so that the popsicle doesn’t separate during freezing. For a corn free version, use arrowroot powder. As you would boil your coconut milk mixture with the cornstarch to cook it, for a short period of time or until thickened.

Ingredients

1. full-fat coconut milk
2. light brown sugar
3. cocoa powder
4. Pinch salt
5. cornstarch
6. strong brewed coffee (or more coconut milk)
7. vanilla extract
8. dark chocolate, finely chopped

Full fat coconut milk: For the creamiest fudgesicles, use full fat coconut milk because it will help prevent forming ice crystals in the mixture. Low-fat coconut milk or other non-dairy milks will create icier popsicles.

Cornstarch: Using a small amount of cornstarch helps suspend the fat evenly throughout the mixture so that the popsicle doesn’t separate during freezing. For a corn free version, use arrowroot powder.

Taste/Texture: These fudgesicles are intensely chocolatey with both cocoa powder and melted dark chocolate and you can’t tell they are vegan. They are perfect for a cool dessert or snack with limited sugar but a big punch of flavor. The addition of vanilla and coffee help balance out the coconut milk for a treat that us smooth and creamy but not tropical. You can even add coffee liqueur for a slightly boozy version.

Coffee: Coffee is a flavor enhancer for chocolate, creating a richness to it to balance out the flavor of coconut milk. This is also why vanilla and salt are added – they will help boost the chocolate flavor rather than detract from it. For a slightly boozy popsicle, add coffee liqueur in place of the coffee after the mixture has been removed from the heat.

How To

Get your molds ready to add this easy homemade mixture in to freeze for the best tasty chocolate fudgsicles to enjoy.

In a sauce pan, heat the coconut milk and brown sugar to barely a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Does not need to boil.

In a small bowl or measuring cup with a pour spout, combine the cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt. Stir to distribute.

Add the coffee (*or coffee liqueur, see the recipe notes for this) and stir until a smooth paste forms. Add into warm coconut milk mixture and stir until smooth. Reduce heat to low.

Add the finely chopped chocolate and vanilla extract. Whisk until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is smooth. Continue cooking, stirring constantly until mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat.

Pour into popsicle molds. For an extra smooth popsicle, strain mixture through an ultrafine mesh sieve.

If you have a lid for your molds, place it on before sticking the sticks in until only 1” is protruding. If your molds don’t have a lid, cover with a couple layers of plastic wrap or aluminum foil to hold the sticks in place.

Freeze for at least 6 hours.

Remove from the molds by gently putting pressure on the base while lifting by the stick. If using a metal or plastic mold, dip the tips in hot water for 10 seconds before trying to remove.

Store frozen in bags or wrapped in plastic for up to 1 month.
