Serves: 6
Ingredients
  • 4 (16-ounce) cans full-fat, unsweetened coconut milk
  • 8 medjool dates, pitted
  • ¼ - ½ teaspoon stevia extract, to taste
  • 2 teaspoons peppermint extract*
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¾ cup dark chocolate chips
  • ¾ cup organic macadamia nuts
Instructions
  1. Add coconut milk, dates, stevia, peppermint, vanilla, and salt to the blender, and blend on high until dates are well incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
  2. Taste mixture, and add a small amount of stevia, monk fruit or coconut sugar, if needed, to reach desired sweetness.
  3. Add half of the chocolate chips and half the macadamia nuts and blend until they’re broken into small pieces.
  4. Add the remaining chocolate chips and macadamia nuts and stir.
  5. Transfer mixture to your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  6. Serve immediately or freeze in an airtight container (after freezing, let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before enjoying).
Notes
* Peppermint Extract: We made the mistake of using "Peppermint Flavor" and much prefer the taste of "Peppermint Extract."

** If you want your mint chip ice cream to have a nice green hue, simply throw in a handful of baby spinach leaves and stir in the chocolate chips instead of pulsing them into the mix.
