Calories

Ingredients

For Coconut Milk Vanilla Ice Cream

For Fudge Ripple

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 6 Tablespoons cocoa powder , sifted
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ounce dark chocolate (70-80%), finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Additional Mix-ins

  • 2/3 cup salted peanuts , roughly chopped
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter , slightly melted (pourable)

Instructions

  • Be sure the bowl of your ice cream maker has been in the freezer for at least 12 hours before starting!
  • Make the fudge ripple first, at least a couple hours before you plan on churning the ice cream. In a small sauce pan over medium high heat, combine the water, salt, cocoa powder, light corn syrup, and granulated sugar. Whisk consistently so as not to burn the chocolate.
  • Allow mixture to come to a simmer and remove from heat.
  • Put the dark chocolate in the mixture and let sit for about a minute. Add the vanilla and whisk everything together until all the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  • Let cool to room temperature, and then put in a jar to cool in the refrigerator.
  • Either in a large bowl or in a blender, combine the coconut milk, creamer, sugar, and vanilla extract.
  • Once combined, pour it all into your ice cream maker, following the manufacturer's instructions. It will take approximately 20 minutes to set up.
  • About 5 minutes before the churning process is over, add in the chopped peanuts to be sure they get worked through the ice cream, saving a small handful to put on the top of the ice cream before freezing.
  • Once churned and ready to put into a container or pan, drizzle both the fudge and the melted peanut butter in the bottom of a freezer-safe container. Then pour a layer of ice cream on top. Then another drizzle of fudge and peanut butter, continuing until you reach the top. End with a healthy drizzling of fudge, peanut butter, and the leftover peanuts.
  • Freeze for a couple of hours to set. You will want to let it sit out for at least 15 minutes before serving, in order to thaw a bit.
