Dairy-Free Vanilla Ice Cream

Course Dessert
Cuisine American
Keyword dairy free, homemade ice cream
Servings 1 quart

Equipment

  • 1 ice cream maker

Ingredients

  • 2 8 oz. packages of dairy-free cream cheese I used Tofutti brand
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • 3 cups soy milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or the seeds from one vanilla bean

Instructions

  • Allow the cream cheese to soften to room temperature. Whip the sugar and vanilla into the cream cheese.
  • Then, slowly add the milk so the mixture is well combined and free of lumps. Refrigerate the mixture until cold (at least 2 hours or overnight).
  • Now, pour the ice cream batter into your ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer instructions (all ice cream makers work a little bit differently).
  • Top with hot fudge, sprinkles, cookie dough, or chopped up Oreo bits.

Notes

As with most ice cream makers (from what I can tell), the ice cream right out of the maker tends to be more of a soft serve consistency. If you like your consistency a little more solid, more scoop-able if you will, then freeze the ice cream again overnight.
