Iced Chocolate Drink Ingredients :

• 500ml whole milk

• 2 tablespoons coconut sugar (or light brown sugar)

• Pinch of salt

• 80g Dark chocolate (bean-to-bar for an even better taste)

• Shaved dark chocolate

Method:

• In a small saucepan, over medium heat, bring the milk, sugar and salt to a simmer. Whisk until sugar is dissolved.

• Remove from heat.

• Chop the dark chocolate, pour into a medium bowl and melt in the microwave. You can also use a double boiler method if you prefer

• Pour the milk over the melted chocolate and whisk until combined, and place in freezer for about 20 minutes or in the fridge for 1 hour, until completely cool.

• Blend with ice (this will almost double the volume of your chocolate mixture) and serve with chocolate whipped cream and shaved dark chocolate.

• The ice cream is ready when it thickens into the texture of soft-serve ice cream and holds its shape, typically 20 to 30 minutes.
