Pick-a-Flavor No-Churn Ice Cream
You may know sweetened condensed milk as a key to creating sweet dulce de leche desserts, but have you ever used it as a base for no-churn ice cream? Start now with this ridiculously easy three-ingredient base recipe that only needs a loaf pan or a couple pint-size containers for freezing. Customize with any mix-ins your heart desires or use some of our flavor variations (think salted mocha, birthday cake, and lavender) to get your creative juices flowing.
Coconut Stracciatella Ice Cream
Canned coconut milk is so thick you don’t even need to churn it to score an ice cream-like texture. For this no-churn vegan-friendly ice cream recipe, pulse vanilla-infused coconut milk in a food processor with enough milk to achieve your desired consistency. And since “stracciatella” is an icy Italian creation that features flakes of chocolate, shower your scoop with a super easy-to-make, all-natural chocolate drizzle. Just melt dark chocolate and coconut oil in the microwave for 30 seconds!
Peppermint Candy Ice Cream
Make store-bought vanilla taste entirely DIY by stirring in refreshing candy shop favorites such as white chocolate and peppermints. While this is festive for Christmas, we devour it during the sweltering summer months to help cool off, too.
Raspberry Sorbet
For a dairy-free delight, combine fresh fruit (raspberries, mangoes, watermelon, cranberries, or strawberries would all work wonderfully) with citrus juice, sugar, and water. Then all that’s left to do is blend, strain, freeze, and scoop.
Non-Dairy Banana Ice Cream
Put those ripe bananas to good use. This dairy-free ice cream (aka nice cream) is made with just frozen bananas, unsweetened coconut milk, and vanilla. Oh, and the riper the fruit, the sweeter the results! Freeze for four hours post-blend so the dessert reaches a scoopable state. Get creative by tossing in one or more of the following: 1 cup fresh berries, ¼ cup nut butter, or 2 Tbsp. cocoa powder.
Lemon-Avocado Sherbet
Guac is good, but you know what’s even better? Using avocados along with cream, powdered sugar, and lemon, to make a custardlike sherbet. The green fruit’s mild flavor soaks up plenty of lemon goodness and tastes incredible garnished with fresh mint leaves. Blending the creamy fruit with sweetened condensed milk makes a gelato-like treat in our avolato recipe.
