Do you know what to do with leftover aquafaba? If you guessed making ice cream, then you'd be correct; how'd you possibly get that? This vegan chocolate ice cream contains only 5 simple ingredients you likely have on hand right now. It's sweet and chocolatey, with a subtly salty flavor, giving it a sea salt chocolate vibe. Being free of gluten and refined sugar, this healthy ice cream is the perfect light and refreshing treat that's low in calories

- 2/3 cup (160 g) Aquafaba
- 1/2 tsp (2.5 g) Lemon juice
- 1 tbsp (15 g) Vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp (40 g) Maple syrup
- 5 tbsp (25 g) Cocoa powder

1. In a large glass bowl, bear your aquafaba and lemon juice with a hand mixer for about 3 minutes, or until foamy and you have soft peaks. Apple cider vinegar will also work in place of lemon juice

2. Beat in the vanilla until fully combined. Next, beat in the maple syrup (or honey or sugar free syrup). Finally, beat in the cocoa powder

3. Freeze for 1 hour. Churn with your hand mixer. Repeat 2 more times for a total of 3 hours

4. Transfer your ice cream to a container, and store in the freezer. Let sit out for about 5 minutes before scooping
