• 2 tablespoons (16 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup (250 ml) heavy cream
• Chopped hazelnuts (optional)
• Instant coffee (optional)
• Orange zest (optional)
• Cookie pieces (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. In a jar, combine 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract, 3 tablespoons of hot water, 3 tablespoons of unrefined sugar, and 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder.
2. Add 1 cup of heavy cream to the jar.
3. Secure the lid on the jar tightly and shake the jar vigorously for 15-20 seconds until all the ingredients are well mixed and the sugar is dissolved.
4. Place the jar in the freezer for 3-4 hours. Check the ice cream after 3 hours to see if it’s set to your liking. It should be firm but still scoopable.
5. When ready to serve, you can enjoy creamy homemade chocolate ice cream straight from the jar. If you’d like to add any optional mix-ins, stir them in before freezing.
