Easy Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream
This vegan chocolate ice cream takes just four simple ingredients, yet it’s full of deep, creamy chocolaty flavor. And with no refined sugar, it’s a guilt- free summer treat.
Who doesn’t love ice cream in the summer, am I right? It’s so cold and creamy and cools you right off. But what I don’t like is all the calories and sugar in even a small portion. So I set out to make an easy homemade ice cream that I could feel good about indulging in.
Instead of using heavy cream and regular milk, I used full fat coconut milk as well as unsweetened almond milk. In my first attempt at this ice cream, I used light coconut milk, but it just didn’t turn out creamy enough. Because of that, I wouldn’t recommend using light. Then, instead of using refined sugar, I used agave nectar to sweeten things up.
The result is creamy and delicious with just the right level of chocolaty goodness. Perfect for satisfying any ice cream craving. This ice cream freezes pretty solid, so you’ll want to let it sit out for a few minutes before scooping it out. To make it even more delicious, serve it with your favorite topping.

Notes
Once the ice cream is frozen, I suggest letting it sit out for 5 or so minutes to soften enough to easily scoop out.
ENJOY!
What a wonderfully simple recipe! I can tell it tastes awesome!!! I love how simple it is! Chocolate is always a favorite of mine! Would I be able to make this without an ice cream maker? Could I just freeze it?
Thank you! I have only made this in an ice cream maker, so I’m not sure how just freezing it would work. I feel like it could affect the texture.
This looks so good. And I actually prefer the flavor and texture of a churned ice cream, so this recipe is perfect! But, it’s no cook, which means not heating up the house! Love it!
Mmmmm chocolate ice cream! It’s one of my faves.
This ice cream looks so luscious and creamy. I’d love a couple of scoops!
I love using coconut milk! It is amazing for chia pudding too. This looks amazing and I can’t wait to try it! I have my ice cream machine bowl in the freezer right now!
We’ve had such a hot weekend, this would be the perfect cool-down bowl! How yummy!! I’m breaking out my ice-cream maker and giving this one a try!!
The texture of this ice cream looks perfect!
Such an incredibly gorgeous bowl of ice cream! I seriously need this for my chocolate cravings this summer!
