Raw Chocolate Ice Cream

Raw Chocolate Ice Cream (Nourishing & Simple)

This raw chocolate ice cream is rich, creamy, and made with nutrient-dense, real-food ingredients. It’s sweetened naturally with maple syrup and uses raw cacao for that deep chocolate flavor. This is a favorite in our home—especially on warm afternoons when we want a treat that feels indulgent but still supports our health.

You’ll need an ice cream machine for this—either a KitchenAid attachment, Cuisinart, or any countertop model.

 

Ingredients:

• 2 cups raw milk
• 1 cup heavy cream (preferably from grass-fed cows)
• ½ cup raw cacao powder
• ½ cup pure maple syrup
• 3 pastured egg yolks
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Dash of cinnamon (optional, but so good)

Instructions:

Step 1:

 

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and maple syrup until smooth and slightly thickened.

Step 2:

Add raw milk, heavy cream, cacao powder, vanilla, and cinnamon. Whisk until everything is well combined and the cacao is fully mixed in (no lumps). You can use a blender for this step if you want it extra smooth.

Step 3:

Pour the mixture into your ice cream machine and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually 20–25 minutes).

Step 4:

Once it reaches soft-serve consistency, you can enjoy it right away, or transfer it to a container and freeze for 1–2 hours for a firmer texture.

Tips:

• For extra richness, you can add a spoonful of collagen or a bit of melted coconut oil.
• Want it extra chocolatey? Add a few tablespoons more cacao powder to taste.
• This recipe doubles well if you’re serving a crowd!

Enjoy your homemade, nourishing raw chocolate ice cream—guilt-free and full of goodness
