Looking for a creamy and easy vegan vanilla ice cream recipe? We’ve got you covered with two delicious, dairy-free versions—both made extra smooth with JOI almond or cashew concentrate. Whether you prefer it with or without coconut milk, these recipes are simple: just blend, chill, and churn!


Why This Vegan Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe is Perfect for Beginners

Making homemade dairy-free ice cream has never been easier. With just a few simple steps, you’ll have delicious ice cream in no time. All you need is a blender, a few ingredients, and an ice cream machine!

How to Make It:

  1. Blend the ingredients until smooth.
  2. Chill the mixture for at least 1 hour to make it churn-ready.
  3. Churn in an ice cream maker until you reach a soft-serve consistency.

No need for complicated techniques—this recipe is as easy as it gets!


Creamy Perfection with JOI Concentrate

JOI’s plant milk concentrates create a smooth, creamy ice cream that melts perfectly on the tongue. Because JOI contains Just One Ingredient with no added stabilizers, gums, or fillers, it delivers a higher fat content than boxed plant milk—making your ice cream rich and satisfying.  


Two Easy Versions

Version 1: Coconut-Free Vanilla Ice Cream

3 ingredients plus water and salt!

  • JOI almond or cashew concentrate
  • water
  • coconut sugar (or sugar of choice)
  • salt
  • vanilla extract

This version is light yet creamy, with a slight nutty undertone from the JOI concentrate.


Version 2: Creamy Vanilla Ice Cream with Coconut Milk

  • JOI almond or cashew concentrate
  • water
  • coconut milk
  • coconut sugar  (or sugar of choice)
  • salt
  • vanilla extract

This version has slightly different flavor and texture due to the coconut milk.


Why Plant Milk Concentrates are Better for the Planet

Choosing JOI plant milk concentrates over boxed plant milk is better for the environment:

  • Less Packaging Waste: One jar of JOI yields 8 quarts of milk, thereby you generate less waste than cartons.
  • Lower Carbon Footprint: Shipping concentrate (without water) reduces transport emissions.
  • Less Food Waste: Make only as much milk as you need, preventing waste.

Add Mix-ins and Create New Flavors

Turn this vanilla base into endless flavor combinations! Try these ideas:

  • Chocolate Chip: Stir in mini chocolate chips.
  • Berry Swirl: Add a swirl of raspberry puree during churning.
  • Mint Chocolate: Replace vanilla with mint extract and add dark chocolate chunks.
  • Peanut Butter Swirl: Fold peanut butter into the churned ice cream.

  • This looks like the hardest one I’ve ever seen to make almond ice cream I think I’ll do a few tweaks on it because I don’t know if I want that much coconut milk in it.
