Ever since I became vegan, now 12 years ago, I've been settling for fruity flavors at the ice cream shop. Although there are more and more plant-based options, even today, in most places, the only dairy-free choices are fruit-flavored. And let's be honest, for some reason, the name of the dessert is ice cream<\/em> (ice cream) not frozen fruit, I like ice cream to be chocolate, dulce de leche, and all creamy flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My first birthday gift as a vegan was an ice cream maker, a very small, homemade one. It worked by putting the container in the freezer for many hours so the liquid inside would freeze, and then you'd whip the cream of the flavor you'd prepared with the cold. I didn't use it much because it was a hassle. It produced very small batches of ice cream, you had to have the enormous container taking up half the freezer, and it took too long. For a while, I gave up, until I discovered the method for making creamy ice cream without an ice cream maker. All you need is a blender or food processor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The method is very simple; once the cream of our desired flavor is prepared, it needs to be frozen in ice cube trays (it's ideal to use silicone ones so they are easy to unmold).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TIP:<\/strong> If you don't have silicone ice cube trays, but you do have a silicone loaf pan, pour the mixture in there. Once solid, unmold it onto a board and cut it into pieces with a knife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next step is to blend this already frozen mixture in a blender or food processor. This will incorporate air into the mixture, making it creamier and lighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

READY!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ANOTHER TIP: <\/strong>If you want to make popsicles, you can skip the whisking part and put the mixture in popsicle molds. They turn out spectacular!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this ice cream, the base is only 3 ingredients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
