Whether you're vegan, lactose intolerant, or just want to try lighter recipes, these tips will help you create stunning frozen desserts. Come on, let's go!
1. The secret: choose a good base
To make an vegan ice cream , everything comes down to your choice of base. No need to complicate life, there are plenty of plant-based milks and creams that work wonders in terms of texture.
My favorite bases:
- Coconut milk : My star for super creamy ice cream!
- Cashew puree : A nugget for a silky texture.
- Peanut butter : If you want an extra touch of indulgence.
- Avocado : Yes, yes, it works for an ultra-smooth ice cream, I promise, no one will smell like avocado.
Personal tip: I always go with coconut milk for my chocolate ice creams. It's rich, creamy, and gives that nice little exotic taste.
2. Vegan chocolate ice cream: you bluff everyone
Do you think vegan ice creams can't be as rich as traditional chocolate ones? Think again! With cocoa powder and coconut milk, you get an ice cream so decadent that everyone will ask you for the recipe.
Very good recipe:
- 200 ml coconut milk
- 100 ml of vegetable milk
- 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder
- 100g dark chocolate
- 2 tablespoons of maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla
Why it works:
Coconut milk + cocoa = winning combo. It's creamy, indulgent and rich, like traditional chocolate ice cream, but without any dairy.
My tip: Add dark chocolate chips just before mixing for an even crunchier side.
3. Vegan vanilla: simple but effective
The ultimate test: vanilla ice cream . If your vanilla is successful, your vegan ice cream is at the top. With almond milk and pure vanilla extract, you can get an ice cream that will impress even the most skeptical.
Stunning recipe:
- 300 ml almond milk
- 1 tablespoon of agave syrup
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla
- A pinch of salt
Why it works:
Almond milk is light but gives a subtle taste and the texture remains very creamy thanks to Ninja Creami .
4. Salted butter caramel… without butter or milk
Who said you can't make vegan salted butter caramel ice cream ? Coconut sugar works wonders to achieve that unique caramelized flavor. With a little salt and coconut milk, you're ready to impress!
Recipe :
- 200 ml coconut milk
- 100 ml almond milk
- 1 tablespoon of coconut sugar
- 4 tablespoons of caramel
- A pinch of sea salt

Gourmet tip: For a perfect finish, add a pinch of sea salt just before serving. It makes everything magical!
5. Very creamy strawberry: challenge met
Fruit ice creams can sometimes lack creaminess, but with Ninja Creami , you can transform strawberries into a creamy and fruity ice cream.
Recipe :
- 300 g strawberries
- 200 ml cashew milk
- 2 tablespoons agave syrup
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla
Why it works:
Cashew milk provides that soft, creamy texture that goes great with fruit. Result: an ice cream that is as fresh as it is delicious.
6. Toppings to make it even more fun
Once your ice cream is ready, time for the toppings! Whether to add crunch or color, you can personalize each bowl according to your desires.
My topping ideas:
