Ingredients
  

  • 1 13.5 oz / 400 ml can full-fat coconut milk
  • ¼ cup (40 g / 1.41 oz) collagen peptides or protein powder (optional)
  • ¼ cup (25 g / 0.88 oz) unflavored MCT oil powder (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons (32 g / 1.13 oz) smooth unsweetened almond butter
  • 2 tablespoons (10 g / 0.35 oz) cocoa powder
  • 3 drops liquid stevia, or 1 tablespoon (15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) erythritol
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml / 0.2 fl oz) vanilla extract
  • & Variations
  • For the perfect texture, don't let the mixture freeze solid. The goal is to mash it with a fork just as it becomes firm enough, creating a creamy consistency rather than icy chunks.
  • This soft serve is designed to be eaten immediately. It does not store well and will become a solid block if left in the freezer for too long.
  • Make it Nut-Free: Easily replace the almond butter with an equal amount of sunflower seed butter.
  • Make it Vegan: Simply omit the optional collagen peptides.
  • Make it AIP: Swap the cocoa powder for carob powder and use an AIP-compliant sweetener like stevia, or enjoy it unsweetened.

Method
 

  1. Place all into a high-speed blender or food processor.
  2. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and fully incorporated.
  3. Divide the mixture evenly among 4 freezer-safe serving bowls.
  4. Place the bowls in the freezer for 30 minutes.
  5. Remove the bowls from the freezer. Use a fork to vigorously mash and stir the mixture, breaking up any frozen parts, until it becomes smooth and creamy like soft-serve. If it’s still too runny, return to the freezer for another 15 minutes, then repeat the mashing process.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy!
