5 ideas for excellent vegan ice-cream
Are you ready for 5 best vegan ice-cream recipes?
We have been enjoying summer for a while now so we have gathered the best homemade ice cream recipes. Healthy, raw and so easy to make.
Store-bought ice-cream can be full of additives, colourings and sugar.
What is vegan ice cream and how can you make it?
Vegan ice cream is any kind of dairy product free.
No worries, it is possible to eat creamy ice cream without milk. The secret ingredient is coconut milk!
We can of course use other vegan alternatives such as almond, soy or rice milk, but full-fat canned coconut milk is the best to achieve that creamy mixture.
There are many other ways of making vegan ice cream without freezing it just like frozen banana ice cream. And even though it doesn’t contain any milk, it is still beautifully creamy.
You can add other ingredients to the ice cream such as strawberries or even cookies and peanut butter.
