    Being vegan or dairy free doesn’t mean that you can’t have delicious tasting ice cream.  This vegan chocolate ice cream proves that! 

    I know that it may sound like an oxymoron, but ice cream isn’t synonymous with strictly dairy milk.  You can actually make ice cream with a variety of different milks if you have an ice cream maker. 

    Today, however, we wanted to share with you a no churn vegan ice cream. You will be mind blown at how easy it can be to make delicious, creamy, amazing dairy free/vegan ice cream in your home without lugging out another appliance. 

    We actually made a vegan chocolate condensed milk with this recipe, using the same steps as our other vegan condensed milk (just start with vegan chocolate milk – almond or oat is mostly available). The result was the most rich vegan chocolate ice cream I’ve tried yet!

    What ingredients do you need to make dairy free chocolate ice cream?

    You need just 6 ingredients to make this delicious dairy free ice cream recipe.  That little fact may blown your mind with excitement, but it’s really a super simple recipe. 

    The ingredients that you need are: 

    • Full fat canned coconut milk or Store bought vegan whipped topping
    • Vegan Condensed Milk (click for recipe)
    • Salt
    • Vanilla Extract
    • cocoa powder

    How do you make vegan chocolate ice cream?

    There are a few steps that you need to do in order to make this, but you don’t need any ice cream makers or other non-standard appliances. 

    To start, you need to make your homemade vegan condensed milk. We made this vegan chocolate ice cream using chocolate almond milk and following the steps for the vegan condensed milk. 

    If you are using store bought vegan condensed milk you can skip that step. 

    Once you have your condensed milk prepped or ready from the store, then you will start by whipping your coconut whipped topping. Follow the instructions for making it from home or pour out the contents of the tub and whip it. 

    If you are making it from canned coconut milk, you will whip until stiff peaks form.  If you are using store bought, then just blend until smooth consistency.  

    Next, whip in your vegan condensed milk, salt and vanilla extract. Finally, add in the cocoa powder and blend.

    Pour into a reusable ice cream container or freezer safe, air tight container and store at least 6 hours or overnight.  

    Scoop out amount desired as needed and serve.

    CAN I MAKE THIS TOP 8 ALLERGEN FRIENDLY CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM?

    In the main recipe, we are using coconut whipped topping and condensed milk. However, it’s still possible to make this a Top 8 Allergen Friendly Ice Cream. 

    So let’s walk through this.  We can replace the coconut whipped topping with an almond or rice whip topping depending on allergens.  Both of those come in spray cans. 

    For the vegan condensed milk, we clearly outline how to make it in our linked post with any type of dairy free milk, so you could use oat or flax for Top 8 Allergen Friendly.  

    Those two switches will make this a Top 8 Allergen free ice cream.

    HOW LONG WILL VEGAN ICE CREAM LAST IN THE FREEZER?

    For the most part, as long as you are using products that don’t expire soon, vegan ice cream will last 3-6 months if stored properly.  Then again, that’s if it lasts that long!

    WHAT STORE BOUGHT PRODUCTS DO YOU USE?

    Making this store bought, definitely makes the process go faster.  Our preferred products, if no coconut allergy is present, is So Delicious coconut whipped topping in the tub and the canned sweetened condensed coconut milk.
