Recipe type: Vegan
Cuisine: European
Serves: 10
Ingredients
  • 3 cans full fat coconut cream (put 2 cans in the fridge to chill over night before making. Also note that it has to be full fat coconut cream or this recipe won't work)
  • 1 bunch of mint, chopped
  • ⅔ cup sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 200 g vegan chocolate
  • green food colouring (optional)
Instructions
  1. You will need a high speed mixer for this recipe. Also you will need to put the mixer bowl in the fridge for an hour before beginning. It works best if the mixer bowl is cold.
  2. Put 1 can of full fat coconut cream into a pan with the sugar and simmer for 30 minutes to create a condensed milk. When the mixture has turned a golden colour and has reduced by half then take it off the heat and cool.
  3. Break up your chocolate into small pieces.
  4. Remove the creamy solids from the 2 cold cans of coconut milk. Put the solids into your cold mixing bowl and whip until it is fluffy, this should take about 4 minutes on a high setting.
  5. Add the condensed milk and then whip again for 3 minutes on a high setting.
  6. Add in the vanilla extract and stir through the chopped mint and chocolate.
  7. If you want to add food colouring stir in a few drops.
  8. Pour into a lidded container and put into the freezer.
  9. Leave at room temperature before serving.
