We used our favorite chocolate from our friends at Hu Kitchen, but any chocolate works!To reduce the sugar content, we recommend swapping out the chocolate chunks for cacao nibs and replacing the maple syrup with a lower glycemic option, like monk fruit or yacon syrup.
Add all ingredients, aside from the chocolate bar, into a high-speed blender.
Blend until all ingredients are well incorporated into a consistent mixture. You may need to intermittently scrape down the sides of the blender or use a blender tamper to ensure everything is well-blended.
Pour mixture into an 8×8 or loaf plan.
Sprinkle chopped chocolate bar chunks (or your added topping of choice) to the mixture and stir them in.
Freeze for about 2 hours, until a frozen ice cream texture is achieved.
