Ingredients
Scale
Ice Cream Base
- 2 cans (13.5 ounces each) full-fat coconut milk
- 1/2 cup maple syrup or agave
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Cookie Dough
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 tablespoons plant-based milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the ice cream base: In a blender, combine the full-fat coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
- Churn the ice cream: Pour the blended mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency, typically about 20–25 minutes.
- Make the cookie dough: While the ice cream churns, mix almond flour, coconut flour, coconut sugar, melted coconut oil, plant-based milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until a cohesive dough forms. Gently fold in the vegan chocolate chips.
- Form and freeze cookie dough pieces: Roll the dough into small, bite-sized pieces and place them onto a tray or plate in the freezer. Allow them to firm up while you finish the ice cream.
- Combine and freeze the ice cream: Once the ice cream has churned to soft-serve texture, fold in the frozen cookie dough bites evenly. Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container and place it in the freezer for at least 2 hours to firm up before serving.
Notes
- For extra creaminess, stir the ice cream every 30 minutes during the first hour of freezing to prevent ice crystals.
- You can substitute almond flour with oat flour or cashew flour depending on your preference or dietary needs.
- Serve with vegan chocolate sauce or sprinkles to add a fun and decorative touch.
