Make your own ice cream confection from coconut yoghurt

For me, ice cream confectionery is associated with my childhood memories of cinema. No movie without having bought some beforehand. It belonged for me simply to the cinema experience with it. I'm all the more pleased that I can now make my own ice cream chocolates whenever I feel like it.

I wanted to try something new and make a recipe with vegan ice cream create. I am not a vegan myself. But I notice more and more that I simply tolerate cow's milk worse. Thank God not so bad that I would have to do without it completely, but still enough to look around for alternatives.

In recent years, there are increasingly Yoghurts also from vegetable milk. Those who do not want to start their own yogurt production can usually find it in the larger supermarkets or in any organic market.

Coconut yogurt ice cream covered with dark chocolate, is just incredibly delicious. So try it out for yourself.

Ingredients coconut yoghurt ice cream confection

For 4 servings

• 400 g coconut yoghurt
• 60 g sugar syrup (30 g sugar and 30 g water boiled up)
• 40 g Agave syrup*
• 1 splash vanilla extract*
  alternatively: 1 Msp Vanilla pulp*
• 1,5 tsp lime juice
• 1 pinch of salt

• 100 g 80%ige chocolate
• 30 g Coconut oil*
• Coconut flakes* for sprinkling (approx. 50 g)

Preparation of the ice cream mass

• If you don't have sugar syrup on hand, just boil sugar and water in a saucepan until everything is dissolved and let cool. Alternatively, you can also use bar syrup or coconut syrup.
• Mix well coconut yogurt, sugar syrup, agave syrup, vanilla extract, lime juice and salt.

The ice cream machine prepare and pre-cool for a few minutes, depending on the model. Switch on the mixer and pour in the ice cream mixture (duration approx. 30 minutes).

Alternatively in Freezer freeze and mix well every 30 minutes with a hand mixer (total time about 4 hours).

Production of the ice confection

• Pour the finished frozen ice cream mixture into ramekins. Ideas, what you can use here, you can find further below. Alternatively, line a square mold (approx. 16 x 20 cm) with foil and smooth the ice cream mixture in it.
• Freeze in the freezer for at least 3 hours.

• Break the chocolate and melt it with the coconut oil over a water bath. Let cool slightly until the chocolate is only warm to the touch.
• Press the ice cream bites out of the ramekins or turn the coconut ice cream out of the large mold and cut into 4 x 4 cm squares.
• Using a fork, roll each ice cream morsel individually in the chocolate, place on a baking paper or plate and sprinkle with coconut flakes. Work quickly and return to the freezer in batches.

Before eating, let the ice cream confection thaw in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.

The ice praline, as you would expect, reminds of Bounty Ice Cream. Only with very much less sugar and significantly healthier than the commercial version.

Tips for ice cream confectionery

• As Forms for your ice cream pralines you can use many different things: Silicone baking molds, praline molds or small paper molds. Quite simply, you can also use the packaging of various sweets. Then these have also found a second use.
• Since coconut yogurt may already contain added sugar, you'll need to be careful here to possibly reduce the amount of sugar. I have a Yoghurt without added sugar is used which has an own sugar content of 1g/100g.
