Method
Method for ice-creamPlace all ingredients into a high speed blender and blend until very smooth, lump free and creamy. Pour about a tablespoon amount of the mixture into small round cupcake like silicone moulding trays or even round patty cup cake cups if you don’t have. Freeze for 3+ hours.
Method for Chocolate Shell- In a double boiler, melt the cacao butter buttons and coconut oil. Add remaining ingredients and stir until all combined. Place in a high speed blender and blend for a few minutes to bond the ingredients. This step will ensure there is no separation of ingredients and improved the consistency!
- Remove ice cream from moulds and dunk into the chocolate sauce placing each one onto a small tray lined with baking paper.
- Freeze over night then enjoy!
