Oat Milk Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 2 cups store-bought or homemade oat milk
- 1/2 cup nut butter of choice, or allergy-friendly sub
- 1/3 cup sweetener of choice
- 1/4 + 1/8 tsp salt
- optional add ins (see earlier in this post for flavor ideas)
Instructions
- *If you don’t have an ice cream maker or high-speed blender, see these directions.Whisk all ingredients together. If using an ice cream maker, pour the mixture in and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your specific machine. Or if you have a high-speed blender like a Vitamix, pour into ice cube trays and freeze, then blend the ice cubes until smooth, using the tamper to blend evenly. Either serve straight from the machine or freeze up to an hour for a firmer texture. Because of the lack of preservatives, homemade ice cream is best the day it’s made, although you can technically freeze up to a month and thaw before serving.View Nutrition Facts

Lol I mean nut butter? Also can you use store bought almond milk for this too?
Yes to both! https://lett-trim.today/almond-milk-ice-cream-recipe/%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E
This recipe works great in a pinch with the low prep time. It only took 20 minutes to prep and 15 minutes to churn. I added cocoa powder and vegan cookie dough in and it turned out great. I agree with another reviewer, it was too salty so I would recommend not using any salt if you have salted nut butter.
Can I use oat cream or would this not be “fat enough”? I would like to avoid giving it a nut taste (especially peanut or coconut). Thank you!!
Would non-dairy margarine work for the fat? I’m trying to avoid nuts.
Hmm, we haven’t tried, but it honestly sounds like a good idea. If you try it before we do, be sure to report back!
I want to use my vitamix for this recipe. Should I put it on my freeze setting or just blend it using the number dial? Is there a number (speed) I shouldn’t go past?
Hmm, sorry we have older vitamixes and it only has the power on-off/high buttons! Katie uses high speed 🙂
This ice cream is absolutely amazing! So delicious, also tried with soaked dates instead of sweetner and was great.
I have a perfectly incrediblw variation to share…. add some ginger before freezing and When you blitz the frozen cubes, crumble ginger nut biscuits into the mixture!
I have recently discovered that mist ginger nut biscuits are in fact accidentally vegan (I use Lidl variety).
Perfectly indulgent Ice cream
Wow that sounds so good, like gingerbread ice cream!
Can I use regular butter instead of nut butter?
I accidentally wrote this on the coconut ice cream recipe- Can I use regular butter instead of nut butter?
Sorry we have never tried it!
Chocolate Covered Katie, you are quite a find! I’ve just started buying Oatley ice cream and love it. Googling DIY oat milk ice cream led me to you and wow, you and your recipes are GOLD! I don’t get the ice cube thing and throwing them into food processor for more whirring. Why not whir all ingredients in FP and pour into popsicle molds or Oatley pint containers that I’m saving?
And another question: what’s your opinion about using unstrained oat milk? So far any recipe that says plant milk (muffins or pancakes) it’s perfectly fine unstrained. I love not having to bother with that step in making oat milk or any nut milk. I say it’ll be fine in oat milk ice cream. You agree?
Popsicles would be fantastic! And yes, unstrained is fine here 🙂 🙂
