Like Vanilla Ice Cream, but way healthier! 🤯 vegan recipes

The best vegan ice cream is made with chickpeas! This homemade vegan ice cream is oil-free, added sugar-free, and of course dairy-free. It’s made in a blender, no ice cream machine is needed. A quick and easy plant-based ice cream that tastes amazing. Loaded with healthy plant-based protein - sooo good.

That's all great stuff you have in there. I'll have to try it to see how it tastes. I use dates and nut butters all the time in my Ninja Creami with great results (and I am a big fan of chickpeas). I think other neutral flavored beans might work equally well although I shall have to be careful it doesn't taste too salty. When I use dates, I get a rather caramely flavored result.

Can I use coconut milk or cashew milk?

[@rogersfab408]

any based plant milk wich suits you

[@gypsyj9691]

Can i substitute almond butter? Im not allowed nuts

[@jamesvoigt7275]

Sure you can. I change up nut and seed butters all the time in recipes. Try tahini, my most favorite, or sunflower, or whatever neutral tasting plant butter seems good to you.

[@allaboutpaw9396]

if I skip dates, will the texture be same?

[@kristiwolfe6904]

No

Success! It didn't hard freeze so it was easily scooped. I used medjool dates and I think they were larger than the ones used in the video, so mine came out looking (and tasting) more like caramel ice cream than a basic vanilla. I'm not complaining. It's definitely a great base for any number of additional items.
