Why you should make vegan ice cream yourself

When you buy an ice cream in the supermarket, it contains, first of all, a lot of sugar. This is followed by milk and cream. And some types of ice cream even contain egg yolk and egg white.

If you are looking for a vegan ice cream, you should give cream, cream, milk or cream ice cream a wide berth. These are guaranteed to contain animal products.

Meanwhile, there are fortunately some manufacturers who rely on coconut milk, soy milk and the like. 100%ig has not yet convinced me. Most varieties are much too sweet for me. And just between us: Vegan ice cream is mega expensive.

As a vegan, you can also reach for fruit ice cream and sorbets. Except fruit, water and unfortunately a lot of sugar and artificial colors is often no longer contained here. However, the fruit content is very often only about 20%.

In many cases, flavoring is used instead of real fruit - which of course saves a lot of money in production. But you can no longer talk about natural ice cream.

What are the types of vegan ice cream?

A very rough distinction is made between two types. On the one hand, there are sorbets and water ice, which do without milk and yogurt substitutes. This allows you to save a lot of calories.

A sorbet usually consists of not much other ingredients than two types of fruit and, depending on the type of fruit, a little water and sweetener.

And on the other hand, creamy ice cream varieties. Coconut milk, soy yogurts or plant-based drinks are used here.

Here's how to make your ice cream vegan. Swap

• Yogurt against coconut yogurt or soy yogurt
• Milk vs. plant milk - especially delicious: coconut milk
• Gelatin against Agar agar*. But who needs gelatine in ice cream?

Make vegan ice cream yourself without ice cream machine

If you want to make an ice cream, you do not have to buy an ice cream maker for it. It works without :) What you do need is a small freezer.

With vegan ice cream, some of the ingredients are either frozen before the actual ice cream is eaten. Like berries or bananas. The ice cream is then not frozen, but is spoon-proof. You know the maybe from Nicecreams - a chilled fruit cream made from frozen fruit.

Or you can refrigerate the ingredients in liquid form - this is mainly done for sorbets and popsicles.

Our coconut milk ice cream with berries or the Nicecream are especially quick to prepare and ready to eat. With the sorbet and the popsicles you need a little time.

The ingredients to make vegan ice cream yourself

And now a few words about the ingredients. They make our ice creams really healthy and delicious.

Ice cream with coconut milk

Coconut milk is a great alternative to cream. Very many ice cream recipes use cream to achieve a creamy consistency. But it works just as well with coconut milk.

The advantage of coconut milk is that it provides a very good taste in addition to creaminess.

You can buy coconut milk with fat contents from 15 to 60 %. The higher the fat content, the better it works. Light milk is not suitable.

100 g cream come to a proud 350 calories per 100 ml. So coconut milk ice cream brings not only more flavor, but also fewer calories.

If you want to make vegan ice cream yourself, you should definitely put coconut milk on the shopping list!

Fresh fruit in vegan ice cream

Basically, you can replace the frozen berries with many other frozen fruits.

When making coconut milk ice cream with berries, it is important that they are frozen through. Only then the ice cream becomes creamy and firm. Otherwise there's just berry milk :)

In the frozen mix you will find mostly raspberries, blackberries, strawberries and currants. So you get the concentrated load of berry power in the homemade ice cream. Especially a lot of vitamins like A and C can be found in all these berries.

If you want it even fruitier, you can prepare delicious ice cream from frozen bananas -. it is called Nicecream and that tastes especially delicious with chocolate!

Vegetable yogurt in ice cream without animal products

Many ice cream recipes are prepared with yogurt or cream. These ingredients can also be easily replaced with vegetable ones. However, our attempts to make a creamy vegan ice cream ourselves have unfortunately failed.

Sweetness for vegan ice cream

Coconut blossom sugar* has a slight caramel note, which goes very well with the ice cream.

But we also use it because it's not as unhealthy as table sugar. Coconut blossom sugar* keeps blood sugar levels constant. It is rich in potassium, magnesium, iron, zinc, sulfur and copper.

But here too, of course, it's the quantity that counts! Do not overdo it.

Alternatively you can also Birch sugar*, honey or Agave syrup* can be used. However, it is best if you simply use ripe fruit. This makes it even easier to make vegan ice cream yourself and saves you extra sweetness.
