  3. Love this vegan ice cream. I love coconut milk for ice cream – it’s so luscious! Mexican chocolate is so decadent – great recipe.

  5. Elana,

    I made this ice cream yesterday and it was fantastic. The suggested amount of cayenne pepper is just enough to be present, but not so much that it overpowers the ice cream. The ice cream has so many layers of flavor and deliciousness. My family was very impressed.

  9. THIS WAS AMAZING!!! The BEST chocolate ice cream I’ve ever had! I omitted the cayenne, since I don’t like spicy with chocolate, but it was still just as delicious! Thank you Elana for this yummy recipe!
