Vegan Oat Milk Ice Cream

Recipe Description

Put your ice cream maker to good use with this delicious Vegan Oat Milk Ice Cream recipe. The base is made with oat milk and thickened with cashews and oats. It is sweetened with maple syrup and delicately flavored with vanilla extract. This ice cream is completely dairy- and egg-free yet tastes incredibly rich and creamy for something so simple and light. It is just the sort of dessert to please everyone at the table – the vegans, the lactose-intolerant, and the picky kids too.

If you are into dairy-free milk and prefer to avoid the additives and artificial flavorings, try making your own oat milk with this easy recipe. It uses just a few pantry staples and is ready in about half an hour. Note: Make sure to freeze the freezer bowl of your ice cream maker following the instructions of the manufacturer (at least 1 day before you plan making the ice cream). Optional: If not serving this ice cream to kids, consider adding an ounce of good quality gin or vodka. A small amount of alcohol enhances the texture and flavor and keeps the ice cream from freezing solid and forming ice crystals.

To make the Vegan Oat Milk Ice Cream, you will need the following ingredients:

Ingredients for Vegan Oat Milk Ice Cream

Steps to make

  1. 1

    Cook oats

    10 min
    Step 1 - Vegan Oat Milk Ice Cream

    In a small saucepan, simmer ¼ cup oats in 1 cup of oat milk until soft, about 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cool

    15 min
    Step 2 - Vegan Oat Milk Ice Cream

    Once cooked, immediately transfer the oatmeal to a bowl to cool.

  3. 3

    Blend cashews and oat milk

    3 min
    Step 3 - Vegan Oat Milk Ice Cream

    Combine the remaining 2 cups of oat milk and the soaked cashews in a high-speed blender. Blend on high until smooth.

  4. 4

    Add oatmeal, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt

    2 min
    Step 4 - Vegan Oat Milk Ice Cream

    Add the cooled oatmeal, ⅔ cup maple syrup, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, ¼ teaspoon fine salt, and 1 ounce gin or vodka (if using) and blend until completely smooth. Refrigerate the mixture for at least an hour until cold.

  5. 5

    Churn

    30 min
    Step 5 - Vegan Oat Milk Ice Cream

    Transfer the mixture to the ice cream maker. Churn the mixture following the instructions of the manufacturer. The ice cream will be softer than a typical soft-serve consistency.

  6. 6

    Freeze

    4h
    Step 6 - Vegan Oat Milk Ice Cream

    Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container, cover, and move it to your freezer for about 4 hours.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Step 7 - Vegan Oat Milk Ice Cream

    To serve, let the ice cream soften at room temperature for about 15 minutes, then scoop and enjoy.

I tried the Vegan Oat Milk Ice Cream for a family movie night, and it was a hit. My kids loved it, and they usually don't go for dairy-free desserts. The oat milk gives it such a smooth texture, and the maple syrup adds just the right amount of sweetness. Will make again soon.
