This simple chocolate gelato (that's made dairy-free thanks to the lite coconut milk) tastes just like the chocolate fudge pops I enjoyed as a kid.

2cans(14 ounces each) light coconut milk, divided
1teaspoonpure vanilla extract
¾cupagave nectar
2tablespoonscornstarch
⅛teaspoonfine sea salt
Instructions
Whisk the cocoa powder, ⅔ cup of the coconut milk and vanilla in a large mixing bowl until thoroughly combined. Mixture will be smooth, creamy and thick.
In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the remaining coconut milk, agave nectar, cornstarch and salt. Stir occasionally while bringing mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat and continuously whisk until mixture thickens, about 2 to 3 minutes more.
Pour heated mixture over cocoa mixture and thoroughly whisk until well blended and creamy. Cover bowl and refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours.
Once well chilled, pour mixture into electric ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions.
Pour or scoop gelato into an airtight container and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours.
As it hardens, you may need to remove gelato from the freezer and thaw slightly before scooping.
Recipe Notes
Ice cream maker processing times may vary. I have an older Cuisinart ICE-20 automatic frozen yogurt, ice cream and sorbet maker and it took about 25 minutes to process. Don't forget to thoroughly freeze your bowl ahead of time.Serving size: ½ cupClick here to see your WW PersonalPoints for this recipe and track it in the WW app or site.10*SmartPoints (Green plan)10*SmartPoints (Blue plan)10*SmartPoints (Purple plan)10*PointsPlus (Old plan)
