This Vegan Coffee Cashew Milk Ice Cream is so delicious – hands down the best dairy-free ice cream recipe out there. Plus, it’s gluten-free, sugar-free and low-carb.

Guys, I am kicking off ice cream season! It’s mid-March. About time, right? Are you with me?

This Vegan Coffee Cashew Milk Ice Cream is sugar-free, gluten-free and low carb! 

You guys, I live in a VERY hot city right now and ice cream is pretty much life. Mexico is not exactly known for its gelato though and for a reason, so I make my own. Which, in my opinion, is the way to go anyway. 

Because making ice cream is not only fun, it’s also easy, cheap and oh so rewarding. Plus you can totally control the amount of sugar that goes into your scoop!

This dairy-free, vegan cashew milk ice cream makes the perfect sweet treat. Plus it’s totally guilt-free! And yes, I tried the so delicious brand and this one is way better, trust me!

There are so many reasons why you should start making your own cashew milk ice cream instead of spending big bucks at the store. Most of them being health related.

Cashews are power-packed with nutrition thanks for those good for you fats. So you can feel good about eating a scoop or two of this coffee cashew milk ice cream. 

Yes, I have had this for breakfast. More than once, actually. It’s a dangerous habit.

Ok, maybe not so dangerous, because it’s also refined sugar-free and gluten-free!

Which ingredients do I need for making this vegan coffee cashew milk ice cream? 

The list of ingredients for making cashew milk ice cream at home is pretty short, you guys.

• coffee 
• cashew milk
• cashew nuts 
• stevia or maple syrup
• vanilla
• salt – just a pinch

Yep, that sounds pretty doable, right? I also add a hint of almond essence. That’s a personal preference. I find it makes my vegan coffee ice cream taste a bit like Tiramisu. 

How to make Vegan Coffee Cashew Milk Ice Cream: 

Traditional ice cream recipes call for a custard-like ice cream base. Not this one! This egg-free ice cream recipe is as simple as ice cream gets. No need to even touch your stove for this one.

You take all your ingredients, put them in a blender and turn blend until super smooth. I mean, you could do this in your sleep, guys. 

Now pour your vegan coffee ice cream base into your ice cream maker and churn it. Mine takes about 45 minutes to churn into a soft-serve consistency.

Then, I transfer it into my loaf pan, cover it with cling film and put it into the freezer for about 2 hours more. 

That’s how long it takes for my vegan coffee ice cream to get solid enough to form the perfect scoop. You can freeze it for as long as you want to, obviously. 

As we don’t use any eggs as an emulsifier, this vegan ice cream freezes a bit more solid than regular ice cream. That only means you will have to let it soften a bit before you can scoop it.

Tips for making vegan coffee ice cream: 

• Make sure your nuts are soaked properly. I let them soak in the fridge overnight. You can take a short-cut and soak them in hot water, which will soften them in 30 minutes. 
• I use my Vitamix for this recipe – if you make a lot of nut-based vegan desserts I recommend you get one. It really does the best job! 
• Take your ice cream out of the freezer about 10 minutes before serving. I just let it sit on the counter until it has softened a bit and I can scoop it easily. 
• I like serving it with just a tiny dusting of cocoa powder but a drizzle of chocolate sauce certainly wouldn’t totally ruin it. My Rum Espresso Caramel Sauce would also be pretty dang good with this. You can make it vegan using coconut cream instead of cream. 

Have I mentioned that you can make a mean vegan affogato using this ice cream recipe? I mean, ice cream surrounded by warm espresso – is there a better way to end a dinner? 

Guys, really – do yourself a favor and try this easy and healthy dairy-free ice cream recipe! You will never go back to the store-bought ones.
