Any ideas that work instead of using agave nectar?

This recipe came out perfectly. I can't even tell that it is vegan. Wanting to punch up the chocolate flavor, I combined unsweetened coca to a small amount of coconut milk in a small sauce pan and then added the coca mixture to the base before cooling. To speed up the cool-down process I add the ice cream base to a gallon freezer bag and submerge it in an ice bath for 20 minutes.
