Boozy Milkshake

  • cook: 30 minutes
  • prep: 24 hours (freeze)
  • servings: 1 quart

Ingredients

2 (15-ounce) cans full-fat coconut milk

1/2 cup sugar

2/3 cup cocoa powder, sifted

1/2 tsp salt

1 Tbsp cornstarch

1 tsp vanilla extract

3 Tbsp Whiskey

3 to 4 ounces dark chocolate, coarsely chopped

¼ cup dairy-free milk or more whiskey, for the milkshake

Way Better Sweet Chili Corn Tortilla Chips

Preparation

Make sure your ice cream maker is ready to go (this usually means freezing the bowl overnight).

Combine the coconut milk, sugar, cocoa powder, salt, cornstarch, and vanilla extract together in a blender. Blend until smooth,

Pour the blended ingredients into a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Let simmer for two minutes before removing from the heat. After cooling for a few minutes, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until completely chilled (2-4 hours).

When the mix is completely chilled, follow the directions for your ice cream maker to make the ice cream. About 10 minutes into the churning, add the whiskey and the dark chocolate. When the ice cream is done churning, transfer to a freezer-safe container and let freeze until totally solid (8+ hours).

To make the milkshake, combine a few scoops of ice cream with ¼ cup of liquid of your choice (dairy-free milk, more whiskey, or a combination!). Blend until smooth, and serve with Way Better Sweet Chili Corn Tortilla Chips.
