Happy June!! Wow, did that come fast or what?! One second, we were all grumbling about how rainy and frigid the winter and spring were… and the next, we’re grabbing our favorite swim goggles and cannonballing off the high-dive board!

Okay, I don’t cannonball because I’m too chicken. But, you know what I mean!

How about I just make and serve the paleo vegan ice cream, poolside… while everyone else cannonballs? 😉 Ahem. Since we’re just weeks away from summer, I figured it would be the perfect time to share an updated recipe post (with new photos & tips!) for Almond Joy Vegan Paleo Ice Cream!

How do I make this recipe into Vegan Sugar Free Ice Cream?

Description

Almond Joy Vegan Paleo Ice Cream Recipe (Refined Sugar-Free): this easy, no churn ice cream is bursting with coconut, chocolate and Almond JOY flavors! Gluten free, Dairy free, Healthy.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium bananas, sliced and frozen
  • ½ cup coconut cream*
  • 1–2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla or almond extract
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened coconut shreds or flakes
    1/3 cup unsalted almonds, chopped or sliced
  • ¼ cup mini vegan chocolate chips or chopped paleo chocolate

Instructions

  1. Add bananas to a blender or food processor. Blend until crumbly. Add coconut cream, maple syrup and vanilla, blending until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed.
  2. Add coconut, almonds and chocolate chips, blending until just incorporated (2-4 pulses). Alternately, you can melt the chocolate to achieve delicate chocolate flakes in your ice cream. To melt chocolate, follow instructions in Notes.**
  3. If you like super soft, melty ice cream, enjoy immediately. If you want firm and scoopable ice cream: pour into a freezer-friendly, airtight container, such as this reusable ice cream tub or these portion control ice cream containers.
  4. Freeze for 3-6 hours, or until completely frozen. Allow to thaw for 5-15 minutes before scooping. Enjoy!

Notes

  • *You can use canned coconut cream, or you 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.
  • ** To create 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 food processor. Pulse a few times to combine. Scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed.
  • Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week. Before serving, allow to thaw for about 5-15 minutes. Scoop and enjoy!

      Hi Blanca! I’m so happy you’re enjoying the recipes. Doing a direct swap for bananas is a bit tricky, so I’d recommend you try some of my other vegan ice creams (like my Vegan Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe or my Coconut Milk Ice Cream, which are made with a coconut milk base. Hope this helps! 🙂
