Is your bathroom as clean as your kitchen? Might be time to rethink what you’re using. See why Dettol Healthy Clean Bathroom Rapid Foam is rating so well in MoM member REVIEWS.

Ingredients (makes 1 quart, approx.)

800ml full-fat coconut milk
2 tbsp maple syrup, or to taste
2.5 tbsp cocoa powder, sifted, or to taste
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 pinch sea salt flakes
1/3 cup dairy-free chocolate chips (OPTIONAL)

Method

Combine the coconut milk, maple syrup, sea salt and vanilla in a bowl. Sift in the cocoa powder and combine well, making sure to crush any lumps that form.
Cover this mixture and refrigerate it overnight, or for a couple of hours at least, until it’s icy cold.
Remove the mix and stir again, pouring into ice-block moulds, or into your ice-cream maker.
NOTE: If using ice-block moulds and dairy free chocolate chips, then make sure to disperse the chips throughout the moulds as best you can. If using an ice-cream maker and dairy-free chocolate chips, then add the chocolate chips in the last few minutes or according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Notes

Although this batter recipe does only take 10 mins at most to put together, it does take a little more time to chill it, and then to churn it or freeze it. But I haven't put those times, because they vary from method to method, machine to machine. This recipe is also available on my blog: ineedafeed.wordpress.com

My son has a friend who’s lactose intolerant. I might give this a go when he visits next.

This is great to eat. Ended up getting an ice cream machine to make different version of the frozen dessert.

I’ve had dairy free ice cream before and it wasn’t the best. I look forward to making this and changing my mind

Know this is needed by some families, but I’ll stick to using full cream. We don’t have it very often.

My Mum used to make icecream. She used an electric cake mixer.
However don’t sprinkle loose powder while beating as it will drift as you add it and will go in through the air vents into the motor area etc.

Coconut milk is very good and has multiple uses.
