Vanilla Dairy Free Ninja Creami Ice Cream Recipe
This dairy-free vanilla ice cream is my go-to base. It’s rich, creamy, and intentionally neutral, designed to replicate the flavor and texture of a traditional creamy vanilla ice cream without dairy.
Equipment
1 Ninja Creami machine with pint container
1 Immersion Blender (stick blender)
1 Freezer
Ingredients
- 1 cup oat cream or cashew cream
- ½ cup full-fat oat milk or cashew milk
- ¼ cup unrefined raw sugar or coconut sugar can use monk fruit sweetener instead if you prefer low sugar alternative
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
- ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum optional, for extra creaminess and thickness
- 1 tbsp chocolate chips optional
Optional protein boost:
- 1 scoop plant-based vanilla protein powder this will change protein macros and overall calories per serve
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients into the pint container and blend with an immersion blender until stmooth.
- If you have a regular blender, then blend all the ingredients in that first, then pour into the pint container.
- Freeze the pint on a level surface for 24 hours.
- Place the frozen pint into the outer bowl, attach the lid assembly, and process using the Ice Cream or Lite Ice Cream setting.
- If crumbly after the first spin, use the re-spin button with a small splash of dairy-free milk.
- If adding chocolate chips (one of my favorite mix-ins), then make a hole in the center, put the pint back into the machine and use the mix ins function to gently mix them in to the ice cream.
Notes
Note: the calories and macros above are based on the basic recipe without protein powder or chocolate chips.
With the addition of protein powder the protein macros will go up to around 16g per serving. Calcium and sodium will depend on what brand of cream and milk you use, these are just based on the brands I used and linked in the Milk and Cream section.
