Almond Milk Ice Cream Flavors

Chocolate: Follow the recipe for vanilla almond milk ice cream below, and add 1/4 cup cocoa or cacao powder. Feel free to throw in some chocolate chips or pieces of Vegan Brownies after churning!

Mint Chocolate Chip: Use a neutral nut butter such as raw cashew or coconut butter in the base recipe below, and add 1/8 tsp pure peppermint extract, or more for a stronger mint flavor. Be sure your extract says pure and peppermint on the label.

Peanut Butter: Choose peanut butter in the recipe below, and increase it to 2/3 cup for a stronger peanut butter flavor if desired.

Strawberry: Use only 1 1/2 cups almond milk in the recipe below. Add 1/2 cup mashed strawberries, and use a neutral nut butter such as raw cashew or coconut butter. Stir in 1/2 cup diced strawberries if desired just before serving.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough: Use the base recipe below, and stir in pieces of your favorite cookie dough or the dough of any of these healthy cookies recipes.

The base recipe can be no churn, sugar free, low carb, keto, and of course vegan.

And yes, other types of milk—such as soymilk, coconut milk, and cashew milk—work for this ice cream as well. One of my favorites is Almond Breeze almond cashew blend, or you can even make your own almond milk or Oat Milk at home and use that!

Dairy free ice cream recipe no coconut

Dairy free ice cream recipe no coconut

  • 2 cups Almond Breeze Almond Milk or milk of choice
  • 1/2 cup nut butter of choice, or allergy-friendly sub
  • 1/3 cup sweetener of choice, sugar free if desired
  • 1/4 tsp + 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

  • *If you don’t have an ice cream maker or high-speed blender, see these directions.

    Whisk together all ingredients. If you have an ice cream maker, simply pour the mixture in and churn according to manufacturer’s instructions for your specific machine. Or if you have a high-speed blender such as a vitamix, pour the whisked ingredients into ice cube trays and freeze, then blend the frozen cubes until smooth, using the machine’s tamper to help it blend evenly. Either eat straight from the machine or freeze an hour for a firmer texture. Due to the lack of preservatives and filler ingredients, homemade ice cream is best the day it’s made – however you can technically freeze for up to a month and thaw before eating.

What non dairy milk is best for ice cream?

Cashew milk, like coconut, is a good base because of its higher fat content. But almond milk is still the No. 1 vegan milk choice among consumers, which makes it a popular choice for frozen desserts as well. Today, Ben & Jerry's has seven almond milk frozen dessert flavors.

How do you thicken vegan ice cream?

Cornstarch. A little cornstarch helps to thicken the ice cream to get the right smooth texture. Liquid sweetener. Using a liquid sweetener in combination with a granulated one helps to make the texture perfectly creamy.

What is ice cream without dairy called?

One of the first frozen treats ever developed were ices (or sorbets), which essentially are a mixture of smooth ice, sugar, flavoring and other refreshing ingredients like fruit purees. A sorbet does not contain any dairy products and is more acidic, which results in tart flavors.

Is there such thing as dairy

Dairy-free ice creams often utilize coconut milk as the base, but now almond, cashew, and oat-based varieties are hitting the shelves, too. Plus, there are tons of flavors to choose from, and whether you're a vanilla stan or chocolate fan, there's something for every sweet tooth.
