Almond Milk Ice Cream
Almond Milk Ice Cream combines almond butter, water or almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to create a creamy frozen dessert. Using an ice cream maker, the mixture churns into a smooth, soft-serve consistency that can be frozen further for scooping. This dairy-free recipe offers a rich texture and a subtly nutty flavor with natural sweetness.

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups water (or almond milk; 12 ounces)
- 3/4 cup almond butter (200 grams)
- 1/3 cup maple syrup (105 grams)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (10 grams)
Instructions
- Be sure to freeze the bowl of your ice cream maker at least 24 hours in advance, if your machine requires it. In a blender, combine the water, almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until it looks smooth and creamy.
- Pour the mixture into the frozen ice cream bowl and process in your ice cream machine until it looks thick and creamy, about 30 to 35 minutes.
- When the ice cream is thick, it's ready to enjoy right away for a soft serve consistency. Or, you can transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for 2 to 4 hours, for a more scoop-able consistency. Leftover ice cream can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- This recipe yields about 3 cups of ice cream; nutritional info is estimated for half a cup serving.
- Using water or almond milk results in similar flavor; water is more budget-friendly.
- You can substitute maple syrup with honey (non-vegan) or coconut sugar for different sweetness profiles.
- If you don't have an ice cream maker, freeze the mixture in an airtight container, stirring every hour to incorporate air and reduce iciness.
- Store leftover ice cream in the freezer for up to 3 months.
