Ingredients

2 cans (13.5 oz. each) full-fat coconut milk (do not use “lite”)
¾ cup granulated sugar
pinch salt
¼ teaspoon pure almond extract
¼ cup toasted, finely chopped almonds
Hard Chocolate Coating (page 18) or a simple
Chocolate Sauce, for serving

Preparation

In a medium bowl, whisk the coconut milk, sugar, salt, and almond extract until there are no clumps. (You can also use a blender on low speed or a hand blender.) Chill for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight. Whisk mixture again before pouring into the ice cream maker.
Assemble the Mix It In™ Soft Serve Ice Cream Maker with the paddle secured and dispenser handle in its upright position. Add the chopped almonds to one of the topping containers for dispensing.
Turn on and pour in the chilled base. Churn until the desired serving consistency is achieved, 20 to 25 minutes.
Serve in cups or cones, adding chopped almonds while dispensing the ice cream.
Finish with the Hard Chocolate Coating or Chocolate Sauce.
