Common Questions

Do I need an ice cream maker?

Equipment needed: an ice cream machine, a blender, and containers to freeze the ice cream in.

I get a lot of questions about what to do if you don’t have an ice cream machine. My answer is simple. Buy one. I’m not trying to be snarky but you really can’t make homemade ice cream without an ice cream maker. I’ve had mine for 10 years and at only $40 it’s one of the best kitchen purchases I’ve made.

If you really cannot buy an ice cream maker you can make this into popsicles. If you just pour the base for this dairy free chocolate ice cream into a bowl and freeze it you will end up with a solid mass. The ice cream machine incorporates air as it freezes fluffing it up.

How do I store homemade ice cream?

One of my favorite kitchen purchases over the last few years is my set of these mini ice cream containers. Each holds 6 ounces which is a perfect serving size for ice cream. If you’ve ever been the one to eat an entire pint (haven’t we all…) these are for you. It is easy to be able to grab one out of the freezer and eat right from the cute little container.

How do I make dairy free ice cream?

Coconut milk is the best choice because of its high-fat content. I think that coconut milk ice creams need prominent flavors so they don’t just taste like coconut milk. Both chocolate and peanut butter help hide that coconutty taste. If Chocolate Dairy Free Ice Cream isn’t your fave flavor I also have a dairy-free Peanut Butter Swirl ice cream recipe that is equally delicious.

Instructions
 

  • Put all the ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth. Pour into an ice cream machine and freeze according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Notes

If you are concerned about using raw egg yolks you can purchase pasteurized eggs or you can temper the ice cream base.
The glycerin helps the ice cream to stay scoopable in the freezer. If you don’t mind letting the ice cream sit out at room temperature for about half an hour before scooping you can omit the glycerin.
Notes on Sweeteners: 
I use my own blend of xylitol, erythritol, and stevia in my recipes. This is twice as sweet as sugar. It is comparable to Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet and Truvia.
To sub in Swerve or Lakanto Monk Fruit use 1.5 times the amount of sweetener called for. 
 
To sub in Pyure or Trim Healthy Mama Super Sweet use half the amount of sweetener called for.
 
Substitutions will work in most recipes. They may not work in candies, such as caramel.

    1. Hi Jean, oat milk is too low fat to make creamy ice cream with on its own. You could use it in combination with a higher fat milk like canned coconut milk.

  1. 6/2/23-Can u tell me what the ingredients would be if i just wanted to make a dairy free only coffee version with out the chocolate . And can i use a powdered egg substitute?

    1. 1. Omit the cocoa powder and add 2 tablespoons instant coffee. Or more to taste.
      2. A powdered egg substitute won’t give it the same creaminess that egg yolks do.

  2. This recipe looks delicious!! I have an ice cream maker but not a ice cream machine. Is there a difference?5 stars

  3. Can you use 2 tsp Stevia Glycerite instead of the Glycerin and omit the 2/3 cups Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet?

    1. You can omit the glycerin but might need to let the ice cream thaw a bit before scooping. You can use any sweetener to taste.
