What ingredients do we need?
- 1 11-ounce So Delicious Culinary Lite Coconut Milk
- 6 tsp Xylitol powder
- 2 vanilla pods, scraped out
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- Cacao nibs and/or toasted walnut pieces for topping
How do we make it?
- Line a rectangular baking sheet with parchment paper (bottom and sides).
- Pour ingredients (minus toppings) in a large bowl and whisk well to disperse the vanilla throughout.
- Pour into baking tray and freeze overnight.
- Remove block of coconut milk from baking tray and peel off parchment paper.
- Use a rolling pin to break block into pieces.
- Place pieces in a high speed food processor and process until creamy and smooth.
- Serve immediately with topping of your choice.
You can re-freeze what you don't use, but keep in mind that if you want it to be creamy when you serve it again, you might need to give it a whizz in the processor before serving.
