Chocolate ice cream with stevia

Making ice cream without refined sugar requires playing with textures to keep it from turning into a block of ice. In this recipe, the secret to professional-level creaminess is the use of healthy fats (such as avocado or coconut milk), which don't add flavor but do add richness. To balance the bitterness of the cocoa and the intensity of the Liquid stevia, we will use  Bonsalt 0%, the perfect ally for intensifying the flavor of chocolate.

Ingredients

• 400ml coconut milk (canned, for extra creaminess) or plain Greek yogurt

• 50g of pure cocoa powder (100% cocoa)

• Liquid stevia to taste

• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

• 40g dark chocolate (+85%), chopped (optional, to add texture)

Professional Preparation Step by Step

1. Base mix: In a blender, combine the coconut milk (or yogurt), pure cocoa powder, vanilla, and the Liquid stevia.

2. The finishing touch: Add a pinch of  Bonsalt 0%Chemically, the potassium in Bonsalt acts on the taste buds, blocking some of the cocoa’s bitterness and enhancing its natural sweet profile. This allows for less stevia to be used and avoids the metallic aftertaste this sweetener sometimes has.

3. Emulsion: Beat at maximum speed until the mixture is completely smooth and starts to incorporate air (this will help keep it from crystallizing as much).

4. Added: Incorporate the dark chocolate chunks with a spatula if you want an effect stracciatella.

5. Technical freezing: * Pour the mixture into a preferably metal container.

   • To prevent ice crystals, stir the mixture with a fork every 45 minutes during the first 3 hours. If you have an ice cream maker, follow the manufacturer's instructions.

6. Service: Take the ice cream out of the freezer about 5-10 minutes before serving so it regains its ideal creamy texture.
