What is vegan ice cream made of?
This recipe is very simple and uses two ingredients that are common in vegan desserts. Here is what you’ll need:
- Coconut condensed milk. A plant-based alternative to traditional condensed milk.
- Plant-based double cream. It has the taste and texture of double cream but again, without the dairy.
How to make it?
Ready to make some vegan ice cream? Here is how you can do it:
Step 1: Prep the ice cream
Add the heavy cream and condensed coconut milk into the ice cream maker and churn for 15-20 minutes, or as per the ice cream maker instructions.
Step 2: Freeze and serve
Transfer the ice cream into a freezer-friendly container and put it in the freezer until it solidifies.
How to make vegan ice cream without an ice cream machine?
You can still enjoy the same creamy goodness if you don’t have an ice cream machine. All you need is a mixing bowl and a spatula. Once your cream is whisked, add it to a bowl with the condensed coconut milk and start folding.
Just ensure you do it gently, allowing the mixture to maintain air bubbles in the process. Once completely combined, cover the bowl and place it in the freezer. For the first hour, regularly stir it to ensure it doesn’t ice up.
Flavor variations
To level up the flavor of this vegan ice cream, here are some flavor variations that you’ll love:
- Fruits. You can add chunks of your favorite fruits, like mangoes or pineapple, for a more tropical flavor, or strawberries and raspberries.
- Flavorings. Vanilla extract, coffee extract, and peppermint extract are all fabulous options.
- Mix-ins. Fold through chocolate chips, crushed-up cookies, or even some chocolate sauce.
Storage instructions
Like other ice creams, it should always be kept in the freezer. Avoid keeping ice cream longer than four weeks as it is prone to getting some freezer burn.
