Ingredients
Serving(s)
  • 3/4 cup, liquid from 15.5oz can chickpeas Aquafaba
  • 1/2 tsp Lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp Maple syrup
  • 5 tbsp Cocoa powder
Instructions
Cook Mode Off: Prevents screen dimming
Pictures: Shown
  1. In a large glass bowl, beat your aquafaba and lemon juice with a hand mixer for about 3 minutes, or until foamy and you have soft peaks

    2.
  2. Beat in the vanilla until fully combined. Next, beat in the sweetener. Finally, beat in the cocoa powder until just fully combined. Don't overbeat, or you'll deflate the mixture

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

    4.
  4. Transfer your ice cream to an airtight container, and store in the freezer

    5.
1/2 tsp (2.5 g) apple cider vinegar or 1/4 tsp (0.75 g) cream of tartar will also work in place of lemon juice. The acid (lemon juice, ACV, etc.) is not for flavor, rather to help the aquafaba beat up foamier. Please do not omit; you will not taste it

This ice cream can be eaten directly out of the freezer. It doesn't need to sit out before scooping, but it will melt quickly. Its texture is similar to a chocolate Italian ice

Other sweetener options include the following:

  • 2 tbsp (40 g) Maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp (42 g) Honey
  • 2 tbsp (40 g) Sugar Free Syrup
  • 2 tbsp (24 g) Granulated Monk Fruit
