    Who does not love ice cream? Everyone wants a pick-me-up. Something to cheer up and leave your worries behind. Vegan chocolate ice cream is a perfect treat. Callebaut chocolate chips just make a treat you can never get enough of. I love adding some grated chips on top too. It is perfect nut-free, dairy-free and eggless creamy ice cream. What not to love!

    My butter cup loves it. He is ready to finish the whole bowl in a jiffy. I try to make desserts at home as they are devoid of additives and preservatives. Making a dessert should not scare you. It should help you settle those anxious nerves anytime you need a pick me up. Here is a no churn chocolate ice cream which will warm your heart with love and fill your face with smiles.

    Sugarless treats for kids

    I have made dairy based ice creams in the past. However, our quest of eating healthy brought us to using fruit sugars instead of commercial one when it came to sweet treats for my kiddo. He does get enough sweet treats in the week so we have always wanted to make or bake something vegan and sugarless yet sweet.

    Kids today have greater choices of treats and while we must not limit their experiences, we should always encourage them to eat healthy. After all, we become what we eat. Body slows down its metabolism with our sedentary lifestyles and then we start limiting our favorite food. If we choose better, we live better.

    Here is our favorite ice cream recipe of this week. No sugar, no heavy cream, no whole milk yet the whole bowl finishes within minutes. I love this any day over desserts filled with granulated sugar.

    No machine no problem!

    Usually I use my Cuisinart ice cream maker or Ninja to make ice cream recipes in the past. I didn't want people who do not have a machine, feel they cannot make frozen desserts at home.

    After all, my mum always made frozen dessert recipes in our childhood and we never had ever heard of any machine which could be used at home. The only machine we saw was a softy maker much later in life when we were in our teens.

    Substitutions

    If you like dairy you may add some cream to above mixture. However, we did not feel any need for it.

    You can also add maple syrup or agave or coconut sugar.

    Add nuts of your choice while serving if you like. You may use white chocolate instead of dark.

    Variations

    You may add some nut butter to ice cream and add chocolate chips, berries, chopped nuts to it. Top with a chocolate sauce swirl and do not count calories!

    Make a peanut butter swirl and freeze this along with chocolate ice-cream or add some cocoa to your dessert and make a chocolate peanut butter variation.

    Storage

    Store it in freezer in an air tight plastic container with a cling film on top.

    Top tip

    Always cover homemade ice cream with cling film and then close the lid.

    This will help avoid ice crystals and keep the texture smooth. Remember homemade ice cream does not have market based stabilizers and preservatives hence can get crystallization.

    Also, whenever you see over ripe bananas, freeze them if you do not have time to bake a cake. This helps avoid food waste at our own level and also whip up sugarless treats in no time.

    Food safety

    Ensure you freeze the ice-cream brick immediately after taking out your scoops. Never eat any ice cream which got thawed completely as it has chances of getting listeria.

      Hi,
      Great recipe!
      Can I freeze the icecream in a glass container or does it have to be a plastic one?

          Hi Bhavana,

          I made this ice cream and the taste is absolutely delicious! Thanks so much for sharing such a simple yet amazing recipe
          The only thing is, I got ice crystals in it. Even after I left it outside for 10-15 mins before scooping, the crystals are still there. Is there anything I can do to avoid this from happening?

            hi Cho
            Thanks for your lovely feedback. To avoid the crystals, I would suggest to use a full fat coconut milk however that will increase the fat content in the ice cream or you may swap half of lite coconut milk with full fat coconut milk.
            Thanks
