Forget watery and disappointing, these recipes know how to make almond milk sing!
I’m sharing 20 sensational almond milk ice cream recipes that are unbelievably rich, creamy, and decadent.
1. Keto Chocolate Avocado Ice Cream
Traditional keto ice cream can sometimes taste a little off. Avocados might not be as thick as frozen bananas, but they make this keto ice cream silky smooth and ultra-creamy. Use almond milk to bring everything together and full-fat coconut milk for the most luscious finish.
Since there are just 2 grams of carbs per serving, go ahead and have that extra scoop.
2. Paleo Cookie Dough Ice Cream
Could this dairy and gluten-free recipe get any better?
The almond flour and butter cookie dough is soft yet stable enough to hold its shape as you swirl it into the ice cream, which is sweetened with coconut cream and honey. Be sure to freeze the cookie dough and add it to the ice cream maker right at the end to evenly distribute and avoid having an avalanche of cookie dough at the bottom of your ice cream!
3. Almond Custard Ice Cream Recipe
Eggs are used to give baked creations a richer, thicker taste, so why not try it in ice cream? Almond milk custard is just as silky smooth and decadent, and it makes the perfect base for any ice cream.
If you’re just dairy-free and not fully vegan, this is definitely the recipe to try.
4. Healthy Chocolate Banana Ice Cream
Here’s a secret for you: 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.
This recipe amps it up, adding almond butter, cacao powder, and almond milk to make it smooth, rich, and oh-so creamy. Be sure to use the ripest bananas around and to freeze them completely solid before blending for an extra boost of flavor!
5. Strawberry Nice Cream
If there’s a more scrumptious combination than strawberry and banana, I’ve yet to find it. I often start my day with a strawberry and banana smoothie, but now I might have to have a bowl of this strawberry nice cream instead.
It’s stunningly pink and full of fruity taste, plus it scoops like a dream.
6. Dairy-Free Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
Craving something refreshing on a hot day? This dairy-free mint chip ice cream is as cool and revitalizing as it is creamy.
Real mint leaves are used for both flavor and color, and the pale green hue is gorgeous, especially against the dark chocolate chips. The only thing to remember is to take out the leaves before making the ice cream!
7. Mint Chocolate Chip Nice Cream
If you love a good banana-flavored ice cream, this mint chip nice cream is for you! The recipe is loaded with bananas and dates, but it also uses real mint leaves for an extra burst of flavor.

Not keen on the banana flavor? Replace some with frozen avocado instead for a less sweet taste.

Don’t have an ice cream maker? That’s no problem with this mouth-watering no-churn almond butter ice cream that just needs a decent blender and 5 minutes of your time.
