Chocolate Coconut Ice Cream



Ingredients:

14-ounce can full-fat coconut milk (refrigerate before using if possible)
14-ounce can light coconut milk
½ cup honey
⅔ cup cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon cinnamon (I used mint extract instead which made for an amazing chocolate mint flavor)
Pinch kosher salt

Instructions:
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cans coconut milk and ½ cup honey. Whisk in ⅓ cup cocoa powder until it is fully integrated (it will take about one minute to mix in). Then mix in the remaining ⅓. Add ¼ teaspoon cinnamon and a pinch of kosher salt.
  2. Add into an ice cream maker (it helps if the mixture is cold before).
  3. You can eat the ice cream right away for a soft serve texture, or freeze it for about 2 hours for a harder texture.

1 large handful of spinach
2 heaping spoons of cocoa powder
1 Tbsp natural peanut or almond butter
Agave or honey to taste
Water (enough to cover)
