1 can coconut cream 14 oz

1/4 cup dark cocoa powder

1/2 cup pure maple syrup

1/2 cup brownie batter mix-ins (nut chucks, dark chocolate chunks, etc)

Instructions

1. Place a small loaf pan or deep pan in the freezer.
2. In a high speed blender, add your coconut cream, dark cocoa powder and pure maple syrup. Blend until completely combined. Add your mix-ins of choice and blend very lightly. 
3. Transfer brownie batter ice cream to the loaf pan. To ensure it doesn't become too icy, lightly mix your ice cream every 20-30 minutes for the first hour.
4. Thaw for 10-15 minutes before eating. Lightly wet an ice cream scoop before scooping the ice cream into a bowl. To enjoy it soft serve style, let it thaw to desired texture.
