Anyone who’s familiar with my blog (or indeed, my book) knows how obsessed I am with vegan ice cream. I particularly love coconut milk ice cream which is the base for most of these recipes.
I’ve chosen the most gorgeous ice creams from some of the best vegan bloggers to share with you (and thrown in a few of my own, for good measure!)
Making these ice creams without an ice cream maker
After looking at these photos, you will be dying to make your own but don’t worry if you don’t have an ice cream maker – many of these recipes are no churn or are easy to make without one.
The general rule is to either freeze a stand mixer bowl and use the paddle attachment to “churn” the ice cream or to whip it as much as you can with a whisk or blender, before freezing.
As long as you get lot’s of air into it, it should be alright.
Anyway, onto the recipes… Enjoy!
VEGAN STRAWBERRY SHORTBREAD ICE CREAM
One of my most popular ice cream recipes made using fresh strawberries and homemade vegan shortbread!
Cranberry Cointreau Coconut Ice Cream
How mouth-wateringly good does this Cranberry Cointreau ice cream by Vegan Yack Attack look?
CARAMEL SWIRL ICE CREAM
The swirls in this caramel ice cream by Unconventional Baker look so dreamy…
COCONUT & PURPLE SWEET POTATO ICE CREAM
What happens when you add purple sweet potatoes to ice cream? You get the creamiest texture and the most gorgeous natural colour!
Coconut and Passionfruit Vegan Ice-Cream
I came across Hazel and Cacao‘s recipe for this gorgeous Passionfruit ice cream on Instagram and have been craving it ever since!
no-churn strawberry ice cream
Despite being no-churn, Well and Full‘s recipe for this strawberry ice cream looks so creamy and perfect!

This is the most mouthwatering line-up, I want them all! So many fun flavors and amazing photos! And you just got me really excited too because I never thought to use a mixer bowl with the paddle attachment as an ice cream “machine” and I have one of those so I NEED to try it!!!!!!!
Aimee says
I tried it once and it actually worked pretty well! I’d say it would be perfect for nice cream :-)
Kari says
OMG, these look absolutely amazing! We’re all about nice cream lately and want to try them all – thank you!
Aimee says
Thanks Kari! Unfortunately I can’t eat N’ice cream because I have a banana allergy :'( But thank goodness for coconut milk ice cream!
