Homemade almond milk ice cream recipe

Whether you’re vegan, trying to cut back on dairy, or simply curious to try something new, almond milk ice cream is the perfect choice.

Dairy free ice cream is hugely popular right now, and even large mainstream companies such as Halo Top, Haagen Dasz, Breyers, So Delicious, and Ben & Jerry’s are jumping on board, offering their own lines of nondairy ice cream flavors in regular grocery stores nationwide.

But almond milk ice cream definitely isn’t new for me.

I’ve been making the creamy nondairy treat at home for over a decade!

And today this almond milk dessert joins the growing list of vegan ice cream recipes I’ve posted on the blog, including all of the following:

How to make ice cream with almond milk

The recipe is made with no soy, no coconut milk, no oil, and no eggs.

And it can also be dairy free, corn syrup free, banana free, sugar free, and nut free.

It has no cashews, no preservatives, guar gum, or xanthan gum, and there’s no ice cream maker required either.

To make the recipe, you simply whisk everything together and pour the mixture into ice cube trays. Freeze until solid.

Blend the frozen almondmilk ice cubes in a high speed blender until completely smooth, using the tamper to blend everything evenly.

Either enjoy your nondairy ice cream directly from the machine or freeze it for about an hour to achieve a firmer texture reminiscent to premium ice cream.

If you prefer, the recipe can be made in an ice cream machine. Blend everything together, pour into the machine, and churn according to manufacturer’s instructions.

The frozen vegan dessert tastes best the day it is made, due to the lack of preservatives. However, leftovers can technically be frozen. Thaw before serving.
