Cloudforest Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies & Cream (v)
Our friend Sebastián Cisneros of Cloudforest Chocolate is like a unicorn in the chocolate world—one of the few artisans who roasts his own cacao beans and crafts them into chocolate confections, tapping into both the scientific and artistic sides of this delicious craft. So we dreamed up a totally over-the-top indulgent chocolatey ice cream to show off his 70 percent chocolate sourced from Ecuador, the very place he first experienced cacao as a child. We start with a vegan chocolate ice cream made with coconut cream and hazelnut butter, swirl in ribbons of Cloudforest, then add crumbs of our homemade gluten-free and vegan "Oreos". This one’s far creamier than any vegan ice cream you’ve ever experienced—all the better to showcase that incredible chocolate.
