Measure out two tablespoons of coconut milk. Add gelatin to coconut milk and set aside (It needs time to soften and absorb liquid.)
Warm remaining coconut milk in a small pot, then whisk in gelatin mixture.
Allow liquid to cool, then add it and the rest of the ingredients - except the chocolate chips - to a blender and process until smooth.
Pour mixture in an ice cream maker along with the chocolate chips and churn according to manufacturers instructions. Enjoy right away as a soft-serve, or transfer to a container and place in the freezer until firm. (If left in for a long time you may need to let it soften at room temperature for about 20 minutes before scooping.)
