Coconut Stracciatella Ice Cream

Beat the heat with our delightful Coconut Stracciatella Ice Cream – your ultimate summer gelato!
With its creamy coconut base and the rich flavour of dark chocolate pieces, this dairy-free ice cream is a must-try for any ice cream lover and a perfect treat for those hot sunny days.

Plus, if you opt for vegan chocolate, it becomes a 100% vegan ice cream.

Ingredients (serves 6)

250 ml whipped vegetable cream
320 g tin of coconut condensed milk
1 tsp coconut sugar
2 tbsp desiccated coconut
75 g dark chocolate, chopped
A drizzle of lemon juice (optional)

Method

Using an electric mixer, whisk the vegetable cream with the coconut sugar until it forms stiff peaks, resembling chantilly cream.
Gently fold in the coconut condensed milk and desiccated coconut until well combined.
For a subtle acidic note, optionally drizzle in some lemon juice.
Lastly, fold in the chopped dark chocolate evenly.
Chill the mixture in the freezer for at least six hours before serving.

Serving suggestion
Enjoy with traditional ice cream biscuits and chocolate sauce!

Notes:

Despite the listed ingredients, the coconut flavour in this ice cream is pleasantly mild.
Opting for vegan chocolate ensures this recipe is entirely vegan-friendly.
While optional, lemon juice enhances the overall flavour profile, providing a balanced touch reminiscent of dairy-based ice creams.
