Preparation

I used chickpea brine that I had frozen and then defrosted in this recipe with great results. Remember to save your brine!

Method

  • First make the mint coconut whip. In a stand mixer add the coconut cream and peppermint extract. Beat on high for about 5 minutes using the balloon whisk attachment.
  • Once the coconut cream begins to whip add the food colouring. Whip again for another 3 minutes or until soft peaks appear. Scrape out into a container and set aside. Wipe out the mixer bowl.
  • Next prepare the meringue, pour the chickpea brine into the bowl of the mixer and beat on high with the balloon whisk for 5-8 minutes.
  • Once the soft peaks start to appear, add the cream of tartar. Keep whipping for another 5 minutes, adding the icing sugar in small amounts.
  • Once the meringue has formed stiff peaks, fold in the mint coconut whip using a spatula. Carefully fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Pour the ice cream into a container and immediately place in the freezer for minimum 8 hours, preferably overnight. Remove from the freezer 5 minutes before serving.
