Easy Dairy-free Chocolate Ice Cream
No ice cream maker, no problem ~ at least when it comes to enjoying a bowl of this creamy, dreamy, no-churn, dairy-free Chocolate Ice Cream.
In the summer of 2017, I was beyond thrilled to win an ice cream maker on a 3-day blogger trip.
When I brought that ice cream maker home, my daughter was beyond thrilled to finally have an ice cream maker at home. For us, the summer of 2017 was the summer of ice cream as we dubbed “ice cream” one of our food groups!
We religiously chilled the bowl and made everything from dairy-free Oreo ice cream to coconut ice cream with all our favorite chocolate bars in it. By the end of that summer, we were ice-creamed out ~ almost!
Then life happened. My daughter started college, and I sold my house. I moved into a small condo near my daughter. Then, 15 months later, I moved again to the townhome I am in now. And now, we are hoping to make another move within the next 6-8 months.
Moving this much has not left a lot of time for chilling ice-cream-maker-bowls. Nor going through the process of making ice cream in an ice cream maker.
My choice for making dairy-free ice creams:
Especially since I realized that all you need to make some luscious dairy-free ice cream is full-fat coconut milk and some coconut cream or coconut condensed milk.

So, I let that ice cream maker move on to a home with 2 little boys who I know are giving that ice cream maker a workout right now.
These days, I have gone back to my pre-summer-of-2017 ice-cream-making ways. I love super creamy, dairy-free ice creams that I can easily mix up and enjoy. And, I usually opt for luscious, indulgent ice creams like this chocolate one with melted chocolate, or this dairy-free boozy one.
But, from time to time, I like my ice cream on the healthy side. So, when those times hit, this Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream is my favorite go-to.
Why is this Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream our favorite?
It is lusciously creamy. More dreamy than Doc Mc Dreamy. And, blow-your-socks-off delicious! I used only 5 ingredients to make this dairy-free ice cream:
1) Coconut milk (I so love Chaokoh coconut milk products and usually use them in most recipes, by the way, this is an affiliate link),
2) Coconut cream,
3) Maple syrup,
4) Vanilla Extract, and
5) Unsweetened cocoa powder.
I usually just whip up all the ingredients together and chill it overnight. Then I take it out and let it sit on the counter while my daughter and I eat dinner and enjoy a scoop or two of this after dinner with this homemade chocolate magic shell.

Ingredients
- 1 13.5 oz can Coconut Cream chilled overnight
- 1 13.5 oz can Coconut Milk chilled overnight
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or more according to taste
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place the Chaokoh Coconut Cream & Chaokoh Coconut Milk to chill in the fridge overnight.
- The next day, remove it from the fridge and gently open the cans with a can opener. When you open the cans, you will notice that the coconut has solidified and moved to the top.
- Scoop out the solidified coconut cream and milk and add them to a bowl.
- Add in the cocoa powder, the vanilla extract, and the maple syrup.
- Using a handheld electric mixer, whip the ingredients together well for about 2-3 minutes, until the vegan ice cream mix resembles frosting.
- Spoon the ice cream into an airtight container and freeze at least 4 hours or until set. Then enjoy with homemade magic shell.

Shashi, this dessert is so creamy and delicious. Who needs one of those fancy ice cream makers when you can make delicious ice cream without one. Dairy is not our friend so we can wait to try this recipe this week. Wishing you a non-eventful relocation. Take Care
Terrific recipe! We’ve pretty much given up on those home ice cream makers — the results are OK, but frankly we can buy better stuff in stores. The no-churn method is the way to go for home use, I think, and your recipe certainly illustrates why: easy and delish. This looks great — thanks.
Wait. You’re planning on moving again? I hope it’s to the house that’s for sale around the corner from us! Because then I could drop by in the evening for a bowl of this chocolate ice cream – I’m sure you would always keep a batch of this in the freezer, right? Sounds delicious, my friend!
That looks super creamy! I love to use coconut cream to make ice cream too.
Coconut milk and coconut cream in ice cream — that’s brilliant! i love how creamy the ice cream turns out. Thanks so much for sharing!
I love this vegan twist on chocolate ice cream!! Made it last night and the whole family loved it!
you have one drool-worthy ice cream in here! Looks dashingly good
This sounds amazing! Love the healthy spin!
Love this vegan version of chocolate ice cream. So delicious and creamy.
I love an easy, no church ice cream like this one! Definitely a fun summer treat!
Oops, no churn is what i meant to say lol
When you say coconut cream and chocolate in the same recipe, I am there. And this was so good! I’ll be making it again!
