How can you make creamy dairy free ice cream?
You might think that all ice cream must have milk in it, but you can make dairy free ice cream from home that tastes delicious. How can this be possible? You can use eggs to create a custard ice cream in combination with almond milk. It’s just as tasty as dairy ice cream because of the smooth custard taste.
Since we love chocolate, we decided to create a cookie dough that you can mix in your ice cream maker with the almond milk and eggs combination. It’s a rich, luscious chocolate flavor that includes our dairy free dark chocolate chips. But, if you want to make plain dairy free ice cream, you can use the base recipe or mix it with whatever flavors you want.
What does adding eggs to ice cream do?
You can add eggs to dairy free ice cream to create a creamy custard ice cream. By slowly adding milk into eggs while stirring together, you make a custard base that tastes sweet without too much of an egg flavor.

Is almond milk ice cream healthier than regular ice cream?
This almond milk ice cream is a healthier alternative to ice cream that has milk in it. There is no added sugar in this homemade ice cream recipe and it has less calories than full sugar dairy ice cream.
How can I make different flavors of ice cream?
It’s so easy to make an ice cream base and then mix in the flavor you want to use. If cookie dough ice cream is not your thing, take the first part of this recipe and add your own spin on it. We suggest adding flavors such as pistachios and our sugar free caramel syrup, or peanut butter and sugar free strawberry jam.

You can also enjoy this recipe completely plain and add all your favorite toppings, like no sugar added chocolate hazelnut spread and keto cookie butter.
What type of almond milk should I use for dairy free ice cream?
We suggest using unsweetened almond milk since it is lower in sugar and carbs. If you have the time and budget, opt for an almond milk that doesn’t have any added water in it. However, if you’re just looking for a dairy free ice cream alternative or you want to save time, you can use whatever is sitting in your fridge!
How to make your ice cream freeze and store well?
Have you ever made homemade ice cream and it froze into a solid brick? Avoid completely frozen ice cream by adding a splash of vodka. That’s right, 1 to 2 tablespoons of vodka added to the mixture right before you begin churning the ice cream can keep it creamy in your freezer.
