No-Churn Dairy-Free Chocolate Ice Cream
These super simple, super tasty, no-churn, dairy-free, Blueberry-Lemon ice cream, Pistachio-Cinnamon ice cream and Chocolate ice cream are perfect for warmer weather – or even a movie night party!
We are in the home stretch of college notifications, and, my daughter has been taking full advantage of the extra data we have! She has been monopolizing my phone (when she can sneak it away from me) as well as hers in quite a fascinating way.
She uses hers to keep up with her spreadsheet of college offers and notes and mine to check and recheck her application status (she even offers to help me with my blog’s social media so she can hold onto my phone). This week we should hear from the last college on her list and then she will have to make a decision as to where she’s going to be going in the fall. 😥
Even though we are in the early part of spring right now, I know fall will be here before I know it.
I’m not going to be sappy today, so, I will just say that I am trying my darndest to make the most of all the times and ways we hang out. From researching the most eclectic coffee houses on the urban hikes we’ve been taking, to researching movies for our VUDU movie nights.
Along with those Avocado Cupcakes from a couple of weeks ago, I have been making other treats to enjoy during our movie nights.
Recently, My daughter and I have been taking full advantage of that free VUDU movie credit as we watch the VUDU movie of our choice on our Smart TV. This past weekend, my daughter suggested we have an ice cream party to celebrate our movie night. Having the sweet tooth I do, I was elated. But then, I realized, my love for dairy-full ice cream is totally unrequited. So, I decided to make some dairy free ice creams. Yes – that’s ice creams as in THREE different ones! Not having an ice cream maker ensured that these ice creams would not only be dairy free but would be no-churn as well.
Wanna know how to you enjoy a lastose-free ice cream party?
• Well, make sure to use coconut condensed milk and full fat coconut milk as the base!
These ice creams are lightly based on the 2 and 3 ingredient, no-churn, dairy-full ice creams scattered across the interwebs that make use of cream and condensed milk. However, I substituted coconut milk for the cream and coconut condensed milk for the regular condensed milk for the base of these three different flavors.
• Then add in the mix-ins!
I added in melted semi-sweet chocolate for the chocolate one, frozen wild blueberries and lemon zest for the blueberry lemon one and pistachios and cinnamon for it’s name sake.
• Have plenty of toppings!
I made sure to have a plethora of nuts, popcorn, pretzels, peanuts, berries, candy, chocolate chips, homemade chocolate hardshell, homemade salted caramel sauce, and sprinkles on hand to satisfy those sweet as well as sweet and salty taste-buds!

This is great, glad she offered to help you 🙂 This ice cream looks fantastic! Love the flavors!
All of these flavors sound ahhmazing! And I love the idea of a movie night party!
I always learn so much here Shashi. I was not aware of the existence of condensed coconut milk. SCORE!!! You and your social media guru should open an ice cream stand, as opposed to a lemonade stand. Would help her college stash/fund for sure!!!! Seriously – everything looks great and I could really go for a scoop (or two) of pistachio myself. Hope all is well my friend. Snowed her all day on Saturday. Ugly #truth. So I am so done with the snow. XOXO
LOL!! I love that you daughter offered to help with your social media just to hold on to your new phone. That is classic! You are totally making my Monday with all these ice cream options!! AND they are no churn AND dairy free at that!! I feel like I hit the jack pot! You need to open an Ice cream shop, Shashi, because you totally ROCK the ice cream flavors!! I absolutely NEED all 3 of these. Like, immediately. 🙂 Cheers, dear!
WOW!! I thought today was gonna be a bit grumpy due to it being… well, MONDAY. But then I saw All the Ice Cream over here and it immediately became AMAZING!! Shashi, how do you do it?? I’m drooling ever so attractively over all of these dairy-free ice cream flavors!! If only I could have multiple scoops of all your ice cream flavors and a few movies–I’d have the best day ever! Have a great week, my friend! 🙂
Mmmm, glad you’ve opened an ice cream season, Shashi! I do love ice cream made of coconut milk cause it gives such an amazing texture. Well, which one should I pick? Okay, I’m one a diet today so I’ll take only 2 scoops each (for now) haha. Thanks:)
What an exciting time for your daughter! I loved applying to colleges–almost as much as I love ice cream! That pistachio-cinnamon is calling my name :). They all look absolutely delicious and perfect for movie night (or dinner if you’re like me).
I had no idea condensed coconut milk even existed! Will definitely be on the lookout for it the next time I go shopping.
This is such a fantastic idea, Shashi!! I’ve never made no churn ice cream before. I have an attachment for my mixer, ya know one of those bowls that you freeze and it’s a whole process, but this? This looks too easy and dangerously good! I’m sure I would devour one of these on my own in one sitting!
Love that you are having quality time with your daughter. I’m confident that when she does go to college, you guys will still be having fun nights together because who could possibly resist movies, ice cream and candy??
Have a lovely week, my friend! xo
I’m SO excited for ice cream season! And great minds think alike, I’ve got a blueberry lemon coming up on my blog! This definitely calls for a movie night 🙂
Ok, now I have to go (no, run) to my local store to find condensed coconut milk. That sounds delicious! And the ice creams look so good and creamy, especially the chocolate one!
These all look incredible! Perfect for movie night!
GIrl, you are making precious memories with your daughter! Of course she will come home often because–hello!! YOUR FOOD!!!
Not just one…but THREE different flavors? Sign me up for that movie night! I love how organized Lil Shashi is…I mean spreadsheets and tracking? Sounds like she’s got an inner engineer in there somewhere. Haha! I know this is an exciting time for you guys, but it’s also a bit bittersweet. Transitions always are. But enjoy the experience! Meanwhile, I’ll be in your kitchen eating all of this ice cream…so don’t be confused when you come back and it’s all gone. 😉
This is a great way to enjoy ice cream without the dairy. Looks so inviting with all these great flavors!
No churn is always great…you know, quick, fuss free yet very creamy. Nice!
