The result was rich and tasty even without heavy cream. So, I omitted the heavy cream and used only coconut milk. That was delicious, but I wanted to have a dairy-free version. Fortunately I found quite a natural one without artificial stuff.įirst experiments I made with a combination of coconut milk and heavy cream. I was thinking of Black Forest Cake and cherries, but since cherries are high in carbs, I had to use cherry flavor. Which means that I wanted to combine chocolate with some other flavor. I wanted to have chocolate ice cream with a twist. Naturally you can use your preferred chocolate, but I recommend very dark chocolate for this dessert. It’s very dark, but it has a milder taste than some other brands. In this recipe I have used 90% Mild from Lindt. It’s easy and quick, you just have to be extra careful not to grate your fingers as well. I usually use cheese slicer for grating chocolate. When the cocoa powder is added, the mass thickens slightly, and the erythritol doesn’t dissolve that easily. It’s good to mix the erythritol with the cherry flavor and coconut milk before adding the rest of the ingredients, so that the erythritol dissolves as much as possible. Allow the cookies to cool completely.All the ingredients, especially coconut milk, should be chilled. Use the back of the cookie scoop to flatten each batter mound.ħ) Bake: Sprinkle the cookies with a little bit of flaky salt, then bake the cookies, one sheet at a time. The batter will be very similar to brownie batter. Whisk until well-combinedĥ) Add dry ingredients to batter: Add the dry ingredients to the stand mixer then beat on medium-low until just combined and smooth.Ħ) Scoop onto baking sheets: Using a small cookie scoop, scoop the batter onto the baking sheet. Allow to cool slightly.Ģ) Beat eggs, sugar, and vanilla: Add the eggs, sugar, brown and vanilla to a stand mixer and beat until the batter looks fluffy and has almost tripled in volume – about 3-4 minutes on high.ģ) Add melted chocolate/butter: Add the slightly cooled melted chocolate mixture to the stand mixer, then mix until well combined with the rest of the batter.Ĥ) Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and both cocoa powders. Heat and stir until all of the chocolate and butter is melted. Ensure that the bottom of the bowl isn’t actually touching the water.

This recipe uses baking powder, instead of soda, so we do not need to worry about the pH. Therefore, using Dutch processed cocoa powder and black cocoa powder, which has a neutral pH, wouldn’t activate the baking soda, and another acidic ingredient would be required. In many recipes this ingredient is cocoa powder (pH=5.3). Recipes that include baking soda need an acid to activate the baking soda to induce rising. If you don’t have any black cocoa powder and don’t wish to purchase any, you can simply substitute it out for regular Dutch-processed cocoa – the flavor will just be a little less chocolatey.Īs a side note – be warned, however, that regular cocoa powder and dutch-processed cocoa powder/black cocoa powder cannot always be used interchangeably. Meaning that it’s even more chocolatey in flavor, and extremely dark in color! I use this Double Dutch-Processed Cocoa Powder from King Arthur Flour. ‘Black’ cocoa powder is DOUBLE-alkalized cocoa powder. By removing the astringency, the flavor of chocolate is able to shine through more, creating the illusion that it tastes more chocolatey! This process sort of strips the acidic properties out of the cocoa powder, leaving it with a much more mild, less astringent taste. ‘What the heck is this’, you ask? Dutch processed cocoa is created by alkalizing regular cocoa powder to bring it up to a pH of 7. This cookies in this Black Forest Ice Cream Sandwiches recipe calls for Dutch Processed cocoa powder and Double-Dutch processed cocoa as the cocoa powder.
