**Dark Chocolate PB and J Gelato**
**Ingredients:**
– 2 cans full-fat coconut milk
– 1/2 cup cocoa powder
– 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
– 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
– 1/4 cup raspberry jam
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– Pinch of salt
– Dark chocolate chips for garnish (optional)
**Instructions:**
1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup, peanut butter, raspberry jam, vanilla extract, and salt.
2. Whisk the mixture continuously until well combined and smooth, allowing it to simmer gently for about 5 minutes.
3. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature. Then, transfer it to a blender and blend until silky and fully incorporated.
4. Pour the gelato base into a shallow, freezer-safe dish and cover it with plastic wrap directly touching the surface to prevent ice crystals from forming.
5. Place the dish in the freezer and let the mixture chill for at least 6 hours or until it reaches a firm consistency, stirring every 30 minutes to break up any ice crystals.
6. Once properly frozen, scoop the gelato into bowls, garnish with dark chocolate chips if desired, and indulge in the luscious combination of dark chocolate, peanut butter, and raspberry.
