Ingredients
Vegan Vanilla Ice Cream Base:
See notes section for cashew base or Paleo base.
- 2 13.8-ounce cans heavy coconut cream
- 1 13.8-ounce can coconut milk
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar or 1/2 cup (170 grams) maple syrup
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp vanilla powder
Vegan Cookie Dough Balls:
- 3 batches healthy edible cookie dough (see post for gluten free option)
- 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips (for the ice cream)
Instructions
- Make sure that your flour is toasted before making the cookie dough first. See note below.
- Make the ice cream after the flour is toasted. See directions of cashew milk ice cream or Paleo vanilla ice cream for specific instructions. If making the coconut milk based ice cream, blend the coconut cream, coconut milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and vanilla powder in a food processor until smooth. Pour the mixture into a 9×5″ loaf pan, and place into the freezer to chill for 30-45 minutes.
- While the ice cream is chilling for the first 30-45 minutes, make the cookie dough according to the instructions. Then form the cookie dough into 1 tsp-sized cookie dough balls, and place onto a baking sheet or into a bowl to be chilled in the fridge until ready to add into the ice cream.
- Stir in the cookie dough balls and chocolate chips: after the ice cream has started to thicken, stir the ice cream in the container. Then add in the cookie dough balls and chocolate chips. Stir to evenly distribute. Then freeze the ice cream for 1 hour.
- Stir the ice cream once more: after an hour, stir the ice cream once more, making sure that the cookie dough balls are evenly distributed throughout the ice cream. Freeze the ice cream for 2-3 hours or until set.
- When ready to serve: allow the ice cream to thaw for 15 minutes before scooping onto ice cream cones or in a bowl.
- To store, cover with plastic wrap, tin foil, or store in an airtight container and place into the freezer.
