Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the plant-based milk, coconut cream, sugar, and cocoa powder. Whisk together over medium heat until the mixture is smooth and begins to simmer, about 5 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of cold water to form a slurry. Gradually add this to the saucepan, whisking continuously until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes.
  3. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
  4. Once cooled, transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This generally takes about 25-30 minutes.
  5. While the ice cream churns, prepare the brownie chunks. Break them into bite-sized pieces if they aren’t already.
  6. In the final 5 minutes of churning, add the brownie chunks to the ice cream mixture, allowing them to be evenly distributed.
  7. Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top. Place in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until the mixture is firm and scoopable.

Helpful Tips

Make it Easy: Use store-bought vegan brownies to save time.

Storage Instructions: Keep the ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping for perfectly creamy scoops.
