Dairy Free Ice Cream Recipes

Overview

In order to not only produce but share winning diary free ice cream recipes, I am documenting my equipment, process and log of each batch made along with the outcome. I have also been asked for a cost analysis as well as nutritional information, so I plan to create a spreadsheet to calculate that as well based on the ingredients used for each batch.

Equipment

Process

Freeze the ice cream maker bowl overnight
Place all ingredients except for the toppings in a blender
Blend the ingredients until mixed evenly but don't over-mix to the point it starts to whip (15-20 sec on medium-high should be good)
Place the blender pitcher with the ingredients in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes
Take the blender pitcher out of the refrigerator and the ice cream maker bowl out of the freezer
Pour the mixture from the blender pitcher into the ice cream maker bowl, using a spatula as needed
Assemble the ice cream maker including the bowl with the mixture and turn on
Slowly pour in the toppings after about 5 minutes of the ice cream maker being on
Turn the ice cream maker off one the mixture stops mixing and remains stagnant (should take less than 30 minutes and you'll hear a difference in the sound the ice cream maker makes)
Transport the ice cream from the ice cream maker to a container using a spatula as needed and cover
Place in the freezer for at least 16-24 hours
Remove the ice cream from the freezer about 30 minutes before you plan to eat it and serve using a real ice cream scooper

1
7/11/2022
Vanilla Chocolate Chip
1 can (13.5oz / 400ml) coconut cream 1 cup almond milk 1/2 tsp xanthan gum 2 tbps coconut sugar 2 tbps coconut oil 1/4 cup agave nectar 1/4 tsp vanilla extract 1/2 cup chocolate chips
ingredients: ~28oz ice cream: ~35oz
didn't produce enough ice cream, needs more ingredients too oily from the coconut oil, need less or none at all off-white color from the coconut sugar, use less to make brighter white a little icy, probably needs more xanthan gum

Vanilla Chocolate Chip
1 can (13.5oz / 400ml) coconut cream 1 1/2 cup almond milk 1 tsp xanthan gum 1 tbps coconut sugar 1/2 cup agave nectar 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 1/2 cup chocolate chips
ingredients: ~32oz ice cream: ~40oz
overall good and a recipe I would use again could potentially use even more vanilla or real vanilla bean for even better vanilla taste less icy than the prior one but still a little bit, already 4x the xanthan gum from a similar recipe so need to play with the types of dairy free milk

Chocolate Chocolate Chip
1 can (13.5oz / 400ml) coconut cream 1 1/2 cup chocolate almond milk 1 tsp xanthan gum 3 tbps coconut sugar 1/4 cup agave nectar 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 1/3 cup cocoa powder 1/2 cup chocolate chips
ingredients: ~34oz ice cream: ~42oz
chocolate flavor is spot on!

Pistachio
1 can (13.5oz / 400ml) coconut cream 1 1/2 cup almond milk 1 tsp xanthan gum 2 tbsp coconut sugar 1/2 cup agave nectar 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 2 eggs 3/4 cup pistachios
ingredients: ~40oz ice cream: ~48oz
absolute disaster, had to boil the mixture with 1/2 cup of finely chopped pistachios and that gave it a strange consistency plus didn’t have fine mesh strainer and over-chopped the remaining pistachios so it tasted too strong and looked funky, didn’t even make the ice cream just tossed the mixture

Chocolate
1 can (13.5oz / 400ml) coconut cream 1 1/2 cup chocolate almond milk 1 tsp xanthan gum 3 tbps coconut sugar 1/4 cup agave nectar 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 1/3 cup cocoa powder
ingredients: ~30oz ice cream: ~38oz
same as 7/24/2022 but without the chocolate chips

Vanilla
1 can (13.5oz / 400ml) coconut cream 1 3/4 cup almond milk 2 tsp xanthan gum 2 tbps coconut sugar 1/2 cup agave nectar 1 tsp vanilla extract
ingredients (pre-blend): ~32oz ingredients (post-blend): ~36oz ice cream: ~40oz
improvement to 7/13/2022, will use this recipe again for vanilla when using a base of coconut cream and almond milk

ingredients (pre-blend): ~30oz ingredients (post-blend): ~38oz ice cream: ~48oz
Chocolate ice cream with crushed animal crackers and marshmallows, a little concoction I like to call Animal Crossing, inspired by rocky road ice cream.

Matcha green tea
1 can (13.5oz / 400ml) coconut cream 1 3/4 cup almond milk 2 tsp xanthan gum 2 tbps coconut sugar 1/2 cup agave nectar 1 tsp vanilla extract 4 tbsp matcha green tea powder

1 can (13.5oz / 400ml) coconut cream 1 1/2 cup chocolate almond milk 1 tsp xanthan gum 3 tbps coconut sugar 1/4 cup agave nectar 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 1/3 cup cocoa powder 1 package of original flavor Cherry Pop Rocks

Chocolate-based ice cream with cherry pop rocks. Inspired by cola pop rocks chocolate bar I stumbled upon at a bookstore. Intention is to create a cola-float by putting a scoop or two in a mug of “healthy” cola. Let’s see how this goes!
