Ice creams are made with a base that includes milk, cream, and sugar, ingre- dients that give ice cream its rich flavor and dis- tinctly creamy texture. Since milk and cream are the two main ingredients in traditional ice cream, making ice cream without them can seem like a challenge, but dairy-free ice creams are easier to make than you might think, and they can be just as satisfying. 1 This is a collection of entirely dairy- and egg-free vegan ice cream recipes that are made with ingredients that you prob- ably already have in your kitchen. From ice creams made with soy milk to sweet granitas that are bursting with real fruit, there is something for every taste and every occasion — as long as you’re in the mood for a cool, sweet snack. You’ll also find recipes for dairy-free whipped cream, sundae toppings, and a handful of cookies that you can use to make custom vegan ice cream sandwiches with your homemade ice cream. 2 Introduction to Frozen Vegan Desserts NONDAIRY ICE CREAM The main differences between “regular” dairy ice creams and these dairy-free, or vegan, recipes is that these recipes con- tain neither dairy nor eggs. It sounds obvious, but creating a vegan ice cream isn’t quite as simple as just swapping out one ingredient for another. The dairy used in ice cream typically has a very high fat content, which creates an ice cream with a smooth texture and a minimal amount of ice crystals. Eggs are not included in all traditional ice cream recipes, but when they are, their purpose is to thicken the ice cream base. A thicker base also tends to produce a creamier finished product, though the richness of eggs can actually mask some of the flavorings that are added to ice creams, and some find that eggless ice cream recipes — both dairy and nondairy — have a brighter, cleaner flavor to them. Nondairy milks typically have a significantly lower fat content than full-fat milk and heavy cream. A lower fat con- tent means that they contain more water, so your ice cream is more likely to contain ice crystals that keep it from freezing as smoothly as traditional ice creams. This can be avoided by choosing high-fat nondairy milks, such as coconut milk, or by cooking your ice cream base and adding thickeners, such as cornstarch. Like fat, the added starch helps to discourage ice crystals from forming in the finished product and yields a creamier finished product. You don’t want to overuse thicken- ers because they can cloud the flavor of your ice cream and Nondairy Ice Cream 3
