While this vegan treat is tasty all by itself, I like to add a little extra something to my scoops! Some of my favorite ice cream toppings include Vegan Salted Caramel, Vegan Hot Fudge, and of course Vegan Whipped Cream! When I discovered how to make this Heavy Whipping Cream Substitute for the best whipped cream I’ve ever had, I knew I had some magic on my hands. I had the idea to turn it into no churn ice cream and I’m so glad I did!
Dairy free ice cream recipe
I love those two magical words – no churn! To make this easy ice cream recipe, all you need to do is whip together the ingredients (the night before!) and freeze the mixture for a few hours. It’s so wonderfully simple, it just takes a little time. Even though we’re cutting a corner by not churning this ice cream, we’re not sacrificing any of the flavor or creamy consistency that ice cream should always have. It’s a simple, smooth, and delicious ice cream recipe that you can customize in so many various ways to best satisfy your sweet tooth.
Ingredients needed (with substitutions)
Soy Milk – Make sure it’s unsweetened with no additional flavors. The sweetness in this ice cream should come from the sugar, not the milk! Another kind of milk will likely work as well.Coconut Oil – This is my not so secret ingredient that you need for the heavy whipping cream substitute. Use refined for NO coconut taste! There is no substitute for the coconut oil, sorry!Powdered Sugar – Don’t replace this with any other type of sugar. It’s vital not only to the sweetness of the ice cream, but the consistency as well. Vanilla Extract – For the best flavor, try to use pure vanilla extract, not imitation. Vegan Sweetened Condensed Milk – My homemade recipe is what I prefer using (it’s actually really easy to make!), but store bought also works just fine. I often use this sweetened condensed oat milk.
