With that in mind, you might think that these almond milk ice cream recipes will be lackluster. Trust me when I say they’re not! In fact, they’re incredibly rich and creamy, and the trick is to find the right ingredients to help make them more luscious. That’s why you’ll see plenty of chocolate and banana recipes along with nut butter and frozen fruits. Just keep in mind that dairy-free doesn’t mean vegan. Some recipes are vegan-friendly, but others use eggs for richness.
1. Almond Milk Ice Cream
This three-ingredient almond milk ice cream is both dairy-free and 100% vegan. But don’t think that means it’s bland! Sweetened with maple syrup, this dairy-free ice cream recipe uses cashews to create a wonderfully thick and rich texture. Use this as a base and add anything from dark chocolate chips to chopped nuts or fruit.
2. No-Churn, Dairy-Free Creamy Almond Butter Ice Cream
No ice cream maker? No problem! This mouth-watering no-churn almond butter ice cream just needs a decent blender and 5 minutes of your time. Using dates for natural sweetness and creamy natural almond butter for taste and texture, you’d never know this ice cream isn’t store-bought. Fold through some roasted almond for crunch, or serve with extra almond butter.
3. Healthy Chocolate Banana Ice Cream
In case you didn’t know, if you blend frozen bananas (in a decent, good-quality blender), it looks and tastes just like ice cream! It’s pure magic and the best natural frozen dessert ever. The trick is to use the ripest bananas around and to freeze them completely solid before blending. This recipe takes it a step further, adding almond butter, cacao powder, and almond milk to make it smooth, rich, and creamy.
4. Almond Custard Ice Cream Recipe
Eggs are often used to make recipes thicker and more rich. This recipe is no exception. Almond milk custard is just as silky smooth, and decadent, and it makes the perfect base for any ice cream. So if you’re just dairy-free and not fully vegan, this is the recipe to try.

8. Dairy-Free Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
Perfect for hot summer days, this dairy-free mint chip ice cream is as cool and refreshing as it is creamy. Using real mint leaves for flavor and color, the pale green hue is stunning, especially against the dark chocolate chips. Just don’t forget to remove the leave before making the ice cream!

What’s better than creamy ice cream filled with soft, chocolatey cookies dough bites? How about all that, but make it dairy and gluten-free!

Freeze the cookie dough and add it to the ice cream maker right at the end to evenly distribute.

If you like peanut butter and banana smoothies, this ice cream will hit all the right notes. It’s sweet, nutty, and crazy-rich.
