10 Most Tempting Vegan Ice Cream Recipes

Summer’s just around the corner- if you’re an ice cream lover on a vegan diet, then you’ll love these milk-free homemade ice cream recipes.

We’ve included a collection of vitamin-rich soy ice creams, a creamy coconut milk concoction, and many which incorporate almond milk for smoothness. Feeling adventurous? Taste test #10: the avocado ice cream finale.

1) Low Calorie Vegan Chocolate Sorbet Recipe

What better way to kick off our non-dairy ice cream dream team than with a rich, chocolate sorbet? You won’t need a lot of ingredients for this one- just the basics: sugar, water, cocoa, salt and vanilla.  Just reach into your pantry, and in 4 hours you can have a decadent guilt-free chocolate dessert.

2) Dairy-free Vanilla Ice Cream

The only machinery you’ll need in order to achieve a thick, creamy consistency is a blender ; a stick-blender can be substituted in a pinch. Vanilla ice cream is a versatile dessert that complements most cake recipes, toppings and fruit compotes. Mix it into your post-workout protein shake for a  satisfying treat.

4) Soy yogurt raspberry swirl

These refreshing non-dairy creamsicles are gluten-free, sugarless, low fat and all-organic, but we won’t tell anybody if you don’t. Flavored with bananas, fresh berries and organic soy yogurt, they’re a much healthier choice for diabetics.

5) Triple Almond Vegan Ice Cream

Hey, almond lovers, here’s a three-fer for you: three recipes on one site, all of them scrumptious and made with almond milk. Headlining is a recipe for Rich Chocolate and Banana Almond Milk Ice Cream, followed by Triple Almond Vegan Ice Cream, which is made with almond butter, almond liqueur and chopped almonds; last, but not least, is Strawberry Almond Milk Ice Cream. Combine all three and you’ve got a vegan Napoleon.

6) Root Beer Ice Cream

If you like root beer floats (and who doesn’t?), then you’ll flip for this non-dairy version of the classic all-American treat. Smooth vanilla bean soy milk, a can of root beer, some root beer extract, arrowroot and sugar are all you’ll need to put this together in a flash.

7) Banana Ice Cream

Two ingredients; that’s all you’ll need to whip up this amazingly creamy and delicious frozen dessert. Two ingredients, and they are: frozen bananas, water. No kidding. What’s the catch? It doesn’t keep well, so you’ll have to eat it all and right away. But that shouldn’t take too much convincing.

10) Avocado frozen yogurt

Dare to be different. The avocado adds a subtle, buttery flavor to soy yogurt, lemon juice and almond milk. Experiment with different flavors of yogurt; the recipe featured here uses strawberry and peach.
