Almond Milk Ice Cream Recipe

This almond milk recipe serves up all the delicious flavor and texture of dairy ice cream, but is lower in fat, has a distinctive, pleasant but subtle taste, and is the perfect choice for lactose intolerant ice cream fans.

Almond Milk Ice Cream Recipe

The Texture Problem

The most difficult part of making non-dairy ice cream is getting the consistency just right.

Custard Style

Custard Style ice cream is known for is soft creamy texture.

Non-dairy ice cream is difficult to get the right texture and creaminess because it – of course – omits the dairy products which help to give that soft creaminess of ice cream that people have grown to love.

With the help of egg yolks and some cooking magic, this recipe hits the spot and nails the right texture.

Custard style ice cream is a bit more work than Philadelphia style, but if the right texture is your thing – it’s well worth the little bit of extra effort that this style takes.

Philadelphia Style

The Philadelphia style ice cream is extremely easy to make.

It’s literally a “dump and go” style of ice cream and I love this style.

Unfortunately, with the ease of making it, you sacrifice creaminess – especially when it comes to non-dairy ice cream.

Without the fat content in the dairy, this ice cream gets icy when frozen solid. So it’s best to eat the whole batch within a couple hours of making for best results.

If not, simply take out of the freezer a little bit before serving to allow to de-thaw a bit.

The texture might not be as creamy, but the flavor is delicious.
