Frozen chocolate vegan pops

Recipe & photo from Judy Lincoln

You will need:

  • Tin of Arayuma fair trade organic coconut milk
  • Camino fair trade and organic semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Camino fair trade and organic Turbinado golden cane sugar

Gently warm one tin of Arayuma Fair Trade Coconut Milk on the stove and add at least ½ cup of Camino fair trade and organic semi-sweet chocolate chips. With a whisk, gently stir until the chocolate has melted, remove from heat, then whisk to ensure it is all well blended. If desired, add 2 tbsp of Camino fair trade and organic Turbinado golden cane sugar (or more, depending on the sweetness desired). Pour into popsicle forms and freeze overnight.

Makes approx. 8 pops

 

Home made milk chocolate ice cream

Recipe & photo from Lisabeth and the ultimatechocolateblog.blogspot.ca

You will need:

  • 3 cups of organic whole or 2% milk
  • ¾ cup of Camino fair trade and organic Original milk hot chocolate mix
  • ¼ cup of Camino fair trade and organic Turbinado Golden cane sugar 
  • 1½ tbsp corn starch
  • 1 home ice cream maker
 
Pour milk into a pot. Whisk in the remaining ingredients, or use an immersion blender or hand mixer for easier mixing. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Let simmer lightly for 5 minutes until it looks thickened. Pour into a bowl and cover. Let cool in the refrigerator for 6 to 8 hours (until cold). Be sure to freeze the ice cream maker bowl at this time too. Pour the ice cream into the top of the ice cream maker and then let it run for about 20 minutes. Turn off the ice cream maker and scrape it out with a silicon spatula or plastic scraper (to prevent scratching the ice cream maker bowl) into an airtight container. You can consume the soft ice cream immediately or freeze until hardened.
 
A great option is to add chunks of your favorite Camino fair trade and organic chocolate bar or melt and swirl over the ice cream for an extra indulgent treat!
