The recipe can be made with peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, sunbutter, or even coconut butter.
Have fun experimenting with different add-ins, such as shredded coconut, mini chocolate chips, jam or diced strawberries (peanut butter and jelly ice cream!), a pinch of instant coffee, or homemade Chocolate Truffles.
Recently I’ve discovered the new Ben & Jerry’s nondairy Netflix & Chill’d, and it is dangerously good. If you want to make your own healthier version at home, try adding crushed pretzels and crumbled Black Bean Brownies to this peanut butter ice cream base.

Vegan Peanut Butter Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk of choice
- 4-5 tbsp sweetener of choice
- 1/2 cup peanut butter, or allergy friendly sub
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- optional banana, chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, etc.
Instructions
- Stir everything together. If using an ice cream maker, process according to manufacturer’s directions. Otherwise pour mix into either ice cube trays or 1-2 shallow containers. Freeze. Once frozen, pop the block out of the containers, thaw just enough for your blender or food processor to be able to handle it, and blend until smooth. If you don’t have a high-speed blender like a Vitamix, you can still use a food processor – just thaw a little longer, then scoop out and freeze up to a half hour for firmer ice cream. For authentic presentation, I scooped it out with an ice cream scoop.View Nutrition Facts

Hey! I’d love if you could make a healthy version of the chocolate cake in a mug that I’ve been seeing around? I’ve made it and it’s delicious but it’s absolutely horrible for you with all of the oil and such. And, who doesn’t love a Single-Ladies Chocolate Cake?
I’m working on a molten chocolate cake recipe. I wonder if it can be done in a mug…
Totally trying this with coconut milk for extra creaminess…err DREAMY-ness 😉
yum, yum, yum!!
I went shopping today and bought raisins for yesterday´s recipe. Can´t wait to try it!
I couldn´t possible choose a favourite food, though I instantly think of oatmeal 😀
Okay, this looks amazing. And your pictures are beautiful!
I absolutely LOVE that blue plate. I have the same problem with buying the same color dishware but in white! You can’t get more plain than that. At least you always choose a happy color!
trying this with canned coconut milk, yumm! with berries it could be like a pb&j 🙂 only in ice cream form. Fave food- delicious and real (cop out?) Gorgeous pics, you too much!
Its such a sunny day here in california I’m Definitely trying this one TODAY!!! might even let my two year old help me make it:). (idk about sharing it w/him lol)
Yum!
Katie, How much do you defrost the frozen cubes? What is the consistency when you put them in the blender? Thanks!
I freeze it in one plastic container (bpa free) and thaw in the microwave for 30 seconds. It’s still hard, but not solid-frozen, when I put it in the blender.
There is absolutely no way I could pick just one food as my favorite food ever. Impossible!
Although I can definitely pick my favorite color, blue. Whenever there are multiple colors I also always pick the blue. I’m just drawn to such a calming color.
I’m heading to the kitchen to make this RIGHT now. Actually. Likely with a side of those Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Cookies too. Can’t wait 🙂
THIS is a winning recipe!!! 🙂 I love peanutbutter!
Yum, I wanna make this today. It’s a perfect hot day for it! Thanks for sharing :).
My favorite food is peanut butter!
So delicious, on EVERYTHING. Had it for breakfast with some cinnamon raisen toast
Looks great!! Will it still be an ice cream consistency if you blend it in a food processor??
I’ve not tried it, but I think it would be more like ice milk… like maybe the consistency of a Wendy’s frosty?
When I made the chocolate cake batter ice cream it was more like ice milk. I’m not sure why it’s different from vitamix to food processor? However, I made the frappucino and that worked? I think it just depends.
The frappuccino isn’t supposed to have an ice-cream texture, which is why it will work in a regular blender. But for the ice cream, it needs to be higher-powered (apparently something called a Blend-tec blender will work as well).
This is simply genius!
