Chocolate Coconut And Almond Chickpea Ice Cream Recipes

COCONUT-ALMOND ICE CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the ice cream: Put the coconut milk, sugar, corn syrup and salt in a medium saucepan and heat over low heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Pour into a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, for the crust: Process the almonds and sugar in a food processor until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Gradually add the melted butter while continuing to pulse. Press the crust evenly into the bottom and about 1-inch up the sides of a 10-inch spring-form pan. Bake until set, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool completely.
• Churn the coconut mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufactures instructions until very thick, but still spreadable, about 30 minutes. Spread the ice cream evenly over the cooled crust and freeze until set, about 2 hours.
• Bring the pie to room temperature about 5 minutes before serving. Release the sides of the spring-form pan and sprinkle the top with coconut and almonds.

CHICKPEA MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Place the chickpeas on a clean dish towel or a couple paper towels and cover with a paper towel. Gently rub the chickpeas until they are completely dry and the skins start to fall off. Use your fingers to peel off any remaining skins (the chickpeas should easily pop out).
• Place the skinned chickpeas, coconut cream, dates and mint extract in a blender. Blend, stopping and scraping down the sides of the container with a rubber spatula as needed, until very smooth, about 1 minute. It's okay if there are some specks from the dates, but the mixture should be smooth and similar in texture to a thick milkshake. Add the food coloring and blend until combined (the color should resemble the inside of a ripe avocado).
• Pour one-third of the chickpea mixture into a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan, then top with one-third of the baking chips, making sure to go all the way to the edges of the pan. Pour half of the remaining chickpea mixture into the pan, then top with half of the remaining baking chips. Add the remaining chickpea mixture, then top with the remaining baking chips. Cover the loaf pan with plastic wrap and freeze until completely firm, at least 8 hours and up to overnight.
• Let the ice cream sit at room temperature to soften before scooping, 10 to 15 minutes. Scoop into bowls or vegan ice cream cones and serve.

COCONUT HOT CHOCOLATE WITH ALMOND-FLUFF WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Make the whipped cream: Combine the heavy cream, Fluff, almond liqueur and vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment; whip until soft peaks form.
• Make the hot chocolate: Combine the whole milk and coconut milk in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Whisk in the cocoa powder, brown sugar, chocolate chips, vanilla and salt; cook, whisking constantly, until the sugar and chocolate melt and the mixture is smooth and thick, about 5 minutes.
• Divide the hot chocolate among mugs and top with a large dollop of the whipped cream. Dust with cocoa powder and garnish with toasted coconut.

LOW CARB QUICK CHOCOLATE ALMOND ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

• With an electric mixer on high, whip the heavy cream in a bowl just until frothy and add in the sugar substitute, extracts, cocoa powder, and ricotta cheese. Continue to whip on high until peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip, or cream will break.
• Fold in toasted almonds. Using a 3-ounce ice cream scoop, place 1 scoop each in a champagne glass and freeze as "faux" ice cream or serve refrigerated as a parfait. If desired, garnish with low carb whipped cream, toasted almonds, a strawberry fan, cocoa powder, and a sprig of fresh mint.
