How people cook with it
This non-dairy ice cream can be enjoyed on its own or as a component in various sweet preparations.
- Scooped into bowls
- Blended into milkshakes
- Topped with fruit
- Served with cookies
Allow the ice cream to soften slightly at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping. This makes it easier to serve and enhances its creamy texture. It can be enjoyed straight from the container as a delightful dessert. For milkshakes, combine scoops with your preferred non-dairy milk and blend until smooth. It also pairs wonderfully as a topping for cakes, brownies, or fruit crumbles, adding a cool, chocolatey contrast to warm baked goods.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional dairy-based ice creams, this version uses plant-based ingredients to achieve its creamy consistency and flavor. It avoids milk, cream, and other animal products, making it a suitable alternative for individuals with lactose intolerance or those following a vegan lifestyle. The Dutch cocoa provides a distinct, less bitter chocolate profile.

How to keep the rest
After opening, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals from forming. Seal the container tightly with its lid. Store in the freezer at a consistent temperature, ideally below 0°F (-18°C), to maintain its quality and texture.
