In a medium bowl combine coconut milk, honey, and vanilla bean paste or vanilla. (If using vanilla bean, in a small saucepan combine coconut milk and honey. Scrape seeds from vanilla bean and add seeds and pod to coconut milk mixture. Bring just to simmering over medium heat; cool 10 minutes. Remove and discard pod.) Pour mixture into prepared pan and freeze 2 hours. In a small bowl microwave chocolate and oil 20 to 30 seconds or until chocolate is softened. Stir until smooth. Break frozen coconut milk mixture into pieces and transfer to a food processor. Cover and pulse to a shaved ice consistency. Gradually add enough of the milk, processing until mixture resembles soft-serve ice cream. Transfer to a freezer container and drizzle with melted chocolate (if desired, reserve some of the chocolate until ready to serve). Freeze at least 1 hour or until firm enough to scoop. If desired, drizzle servings with any remaining melted chocolate. Tips As the ice cream freezes for a longer time, it may become too firm to scoop. Simply let it stand at room temperature 20 to 30 minutes or until softened.
