Time 6h35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

One 13.5-ounce can coconut milk, chilled overnight
3/4 cup agave syrup
One 16-ounce package silken tofu
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
Pinch kosher salt
One 12-ounce package frozen mixed berry blend
1/2 cup agave syrup
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • For the ice cream: Place a metal loaf pan in the freezer to chill.
  • Using a spoon, remove the solidified cream from the top of the coconut milk, leaving the coconut liquid behind in the bottom of the can. Place the cream in a large mixing bowl. Add 1/4 cup agave, then beat with a hand mixer until soft peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. If the mixture is lumpy, add a little bit of the coconut liquid from the bottom of the can.
  • Combine the tofu, cocoa powder, coconut oil, vanilla bean paste, salt and remaining 1/2 cup agave in a blender and blend until smooth, about 2 minutes. Pour the mixture into the bowl with the whipped coconut and fold until combined. Transfer to the chilled loaf pan and place in the freezer until firm, 4 to 6 hours, or up to overnight.
  • For the mixed berry sauce: Add the berries, agave and lemon juice to a medium saucepot over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until it starts to thicken, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and add to a clean blender; blend, making sure to remove the center of the blender top, for about 30 seconds. Pour into a heatproof container and let cool slightly before serving, about 15 minutes.
  • Scoop the ice cream into bowls and top with the berry sauce.
