Dairy-Free Chocolate Rocky Road Ice-Cream

Here’s a fun healthy twist on the traditional Chocolate Rocky Road ice cream; loaded with mixed nuts and drizzled with a chocolate magic shell.
Prep Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes

Ingredients:

Ingredients

  • 1 can full fat coconut milk
  • 3/4 cup cashews soaked overnight
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cacao powder
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened soy milk
  • ½ large ripe avocado
  • 2 tbsp. coconut oil
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp. arrowroot flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • ¼ cup chopped hazelnuts
  • ¼ cup chopped walnut
  • ¼ cup chopped chocolate chips

Chocolate Magic Shell

  • ½ cup chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp. coconut oil

Instructions:

Directions

  • If using an ice-cream maker then be sure to follow the instructions for your particular product.  Mine requires the bowl to be placed in the freezer for 24 hours before preparing this recipe.
  • In a medium sauce pot whisk in the coconut milk and maple syrup on low-medium heat and bring it to a simmer. Ladle out ½ cup of the mixture into a separate small bowl and whisk in the arrow root flour until dissolved then pour it back into the main pot and whisk until well combined. Cook on a low simmer for 5 min. Transfer mixture into a glass bowl to fully cool for about 30-45 min.
  • In a high speed blender (I used a Vitamix) add in your coconut milk mixture, cashews, avocado, cacao powder, coconut oil, vanilla and sea salt. Blend on high until silky smooth (roughly 30 sec).
  • Pour the blended mixture into your ice cream maker and churn for 25-30 min until you’ve reached your desired texture. During the last 3-5 min you can add in the chocolate chips and nuts.
  • Enjoy straight away or transfer into an air tight container or ice cream tub in keep the freezer until ready to eat. I would recommend consuming within a month to keep its freshness.

Chocolate Magic Shell Directions

  • In a double boiler, melt together the chocolate chips and coconut oil on low-medium heat and stir until fully melted together. Set aside to slightly cool before topping onto your ice-cream. You can pour it straight onto your ice cream dish or transfer it into a squeeze bottle and drizzle it daintily to enjoy.

  1. What’s kind of devastating is that I’ve never liked chocolate ice cream until very recently after I gave up dairy and refined sugary ice creams out there! I’m so glad that there are so many recipes for amazing alternatives–this by far has to be one of the best chocolate dairy-free ice creams I’ve ever seen! I HAD to Pin this recipe because it looks so yummy!
