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.

Is it obvious that I really love ice cream??
My favorite way to make this ice cream is with crunchy peanut butter and canned coconut milk.
For a healthy lower calorie option, feel free to use almond milk, soy milk, oat milk, or your favorite milk of choice.

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

This ice cream looks delicious! I can’t wait to try it but I wish I had a vitamix so I could get it just like yours!! I don’t think I could pick my favorite food! I love chocolate, frozen yogurt, thai food, haha clearly I’m not very good at this being decisive thing 😉
Yum! This looks awesome. As for favorite foods… dark chocolate AND peanut butter are both up there…And then probably anything savory/spicy/ethnic? Too many to pick from!
I love the plate. And the ice-cream. And your pictures 🙂 It all looks almost too good 🙂
My fave food is proabably oatmeal. Or apples. I am not sure yet 🙂
Peanut butter is definitely one of my favorite foods, but Fiju apples, brown rice, pasta, and steamed kale (I know you, out of all people, won’t think I’m weird for saying this) are also favorites. That question is too hard to answer! I have way too many favorite foods.
*Fuji apples. Not Fiju! Haha.
Jen, you are not weird! I looooove kale and I’m pretty sure I could live off chard if I had to! Yummm!
OMG this looks amazing!! I love peanut butter too but I am seriously in love with oat bran for breakfast practically every morning – topped w/ peanut butter of course!!
WOAH I am so trying this!! I made a chocolate PB version the other day, and it was SO good!! But I’ve bought coconut milk now and I think it’d be EVEN BETTER! 😀
Chocolate is #1, but nut butters are close in #2!! 🙂
Yup! Agreed! Chocolate is king, but maybe pb is prince :).
@Saraishealthy Couldn’t agree more- I like the way you think 😉
I bet it’d be good with your cinnamon-raisin pb. Someone sent me that link yesterday :).
And I LOVE that plate!! It’s beautiful! I can’t really buy many more plates and stuff- not enough room in my kitchen! 😛
This looks lovely, Katie. I bet it’d be great with the addition of banana, like you mentioned!
Ooooohhhhh! Can’t wait to try this one!
My favourite food would have to be my breakfast of choice: oatmeal with almond milk, ground flax seed, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, sliced toasted almonds and wild blueberries. It’s sooooo tasty that I’ll have it for supper sometimes when I’m on my own and don’t feel like making anything labour-intensive.
Add me to the list of blue-lovers! Just bought myself a dress very similar to Princess Kate’s engagement dress and love it! And of course, jeans in nearly every shade of blue, too.
This looks so good! I’ll have to give it a try…I love peanut butter! It would be fun to add some jam with it and have pb&j ice cream <3
Have you ever seen peanut butter extract? I got some at a mennonite shoppe in the Finger Lakes region of NY a few weeks ago and have been making peanut butter flavoured milkshakes!
The next pb&c recipe I want to make healthy is the Peanut Butter Chocolate Pillows from Isa's vegan cookie book…so sinful!
Hahaha I *just* tweeted about that today! I’ve never actually tried it, though.
Can I have a four-way favorite tie? Any dessert featuring chocolate and/or peanut butter, bread, cottage cheese and oatmeal. Maybe that’s more like a five way tie. Spinach, apples and spicy salsa are close runners up. I am not good at maying choices, clearly.
I really do need to get a blender now that actually works so I can make this ice cream. I’m thinking chocolate chips mixed in would rock:)
I very recently discovered your blog (I just started a blog, and when I saw someone link to one of your recipes, I was like, hey! who is this other katie! haha). anyway, YOU ROCK! Your recipes all look amazing (tried the single serving peanut butter cookie last night!) and I love that they are in single servings! It’s so hard to cut things down for just myself! Anyway, I’m hoping to try your ice cream tonight!
Katie!! I’m so glad you found me! You have the best name 🙂 :).
(Oh, and a great blog title too!)
Chocolate.
And I Think there is a PB bug aruond, I too fantasy abouth too these days
Ooh a peanut butter virus!
Peanut butter is probs one of my top Fave foods. I eat it everyday!! I love the blue plate:)
Yep, PB is my absolute favorite food of all times. I don’t think I can go a single day without it. I love it so much that I gave it up for lent last year-torture! But it is the best. PERIOD.
I gave up chocolate for Lent one year!
Gasp! You did??!! How did it go?
Oh it was HARD!!! I cheated like none other on Sundays. My mom said it was ok to cheat on Sundays; that God took a rest on Sundays… looking back, I think she only said that because I was really little (middle school). Another year I gave up dairy… and never went back lol. How was giving up pb?
Ah! I didn’t know I could cheat on Sundays?! That would have made it a whole lot easier…. But it was hard for me, too! I crave it every. single. day. I tried to make it up by adding spoonfuls and spoonfuls of coconut, almond, or chocolate butter-but no matter how much I tried, I could not get over the cravings. 5 spoonfuls of coconut butter<1 spoonful of pb!!! I just kept telling myself-it's for God-I CAN'T CHEAT! That first spoonful when it was all over was Amazing!
I love love love mint chocolate ice cream!
Yumi yum! This looks so good!
And I could not agreed more: It is chocolate for ever and ever and ever! Can not get enought<3
