  4. Churn in a prepared ice-cream maker according to its manufacturer's instructions. Stop when soft ridges hold, then divide into four servings.

Notes

Later Full GAPS only after digestive symptoms are gone and a smaller amount of pure organic cocoa has already been tolerated. Use completed homemade additive-free coconut milk and qualifying homemade vanilla. Cool the cocoa bloom for the full 15 minutes before blending.
Serve when churned for a softer texture or freeze in a covered glass container for a firmer scoop. The source nutrition belongs to a different sweetener branch, so nutrition is intentionally omitted here.
