Here are two delicious vegan vanilla ice cream recipes, one that requires an ice cream machine and another that does not.

Vegan Vanilla Ice Cream (Ice Cream Machine)

Ingredients

• 520 ml (2 ⅕ cups) soy milk
• 100 g (½ cup) granulated sugar
• 45 g (⅓ cup) cornstarch
• 1 vanilla pod (seeds scraped)
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• 200 g (7 oz) vegan condensed milk
• 200 g (7 oz) chilled full-fat canned coconut milk (thick part only)
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Prepare the Custard: In a saucepan, whisk together the cornstarch, sugar, and soy milk until smooth. Add the scraped vanilla seeds and cook over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes until thickened. Stir in sea salt, cover with plastic wrap, and chill for at least an hour.
2. Mix the Ice Cream Base: In a large bowl, combine the chilled custard with the vegan condensed milk and coconut milk. Whisk until fluffy.
3. Churn: Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions for about 30-40 minutes until soft serve consistency.
4. Freeze: Transfer to a loaf pan or airtight container, cover, and freeze for at least 2 hours for a firmer texture[1].
