What’s your favorite vegan ice cream flavor? I mean, of all time?

There’s this ice cream shop that I used to go to in Cambridge that had the BEST coconut chocolate chip ice cream. It was creamy, dreamy, packed full of coconut flavor and big chunks of chocolate.

The only problem was: every time I got that ice cream, my mom would watch on longingly because she couldn’t have any, and then rattle around the kitchen, pretending to be occupied and totally disinterested. Alas, all she wanted was a scoop of that delicious ice cream.

A few summers back, I realized it was high time that I make a healthy version of that ice cream and satisfy my mom’s everlasting love of coconut & chocolate, in one fell swoop. The result? Today’s delicious homemade vegan ice cream recipe!

is this homemade vegan ice cream recipe… paleo, non-dairy, healthy?

Is this coconut ice cream Paleo?

Yes! Just be sure to use paleo chocolate. I like chopping up this vegan + paleo chocolate bar and using it in place of these vegan chocolate chips.

Yes. This dairy free ice cream recipe is a great alternative to the usual dairy-rich ice cream you see. Some of the best non-dairy ice cream flavors are even store-bought!

Relatively so. 😉 This vegan ice cream is made with healthy ingredients and refined sugar-free. As long as you don’t eat the entire batch in one sitting, you’re good.

Instructions 

• Add bananas to a food processor. Here is the food processor I use. Blend until crumbly.
• Add coconut cream, maple syrup and vanilla, blending until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed.
• Add coconut & chocolate**, blending until just incorporated (2-4 pulses).
• If you like super soft, melty ice cream, enjoy immediately. If you want your ice cream firm and scoopable: pour into a freezer-friendly, airtight container. Freeze for 3-6 hours, or until completely frozen. Allow to thaw for 5-15 minutes before scooping. Enjoy!

Notes

Here is the food processor I use to make this ice cream!

*You can use canned coconut cream, or do the following: Allow a can of full-fat coconut milk to settle for 1-3 days—set it in a stable, cool environment. Open the can and scoop the firm, creamy white part off the top—this is the coconut cream. The translucent liquid is coconut juice.

**For delicate chocolate flakes: add chocolate chips to a small, microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave in 15-second increments until melted. Stir in between increments, until smooth. Scrape melted chocolate into the blender. Pulse a few times to combine. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed.

Storing Instructions: Keep in the freezer-friendly container, in the freezer for 3-5 days. Best on the first day, still good in the first 3 days. Okay through Day 5.
