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.

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

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!
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.
