I'm not a big dessert person, but I have an obsession with chocolate and peanut butter. I often eat chocolate chips with roasted salted peanuts or peanut butter, which was the inspiration for my vegan Snickers Stuffed Dates.
That's all I need for dessert if I am craving something sweet. The only reason you see other desserts on the blog is so that there's some variety and I don't bore all of you with only chocolate and peanut butter desserts.
If you are like me and can't resist the combination of chocolate and peanut butter, then you are going to love this vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream!
It is sweet, rich, and creamy - just what you'd expect in an ice cream.
The best part is there's no special equipment needed. Yup, you read that correctly. This no-churn ice cream is made without an ice cream maker.
If you have a double boiler you get bonus points, but that's really unnecessary too. You can make a makeshift one out of a saucepan and a heat-proof bowl sitting on top of it.

🧾 Ingredients
Chocolate Ice Cream
- Chocolate chips: You could also use dark chocolate baking chunks.
- Sweetened condensed coconut milk: Adds a sweet, rich, creamy flavor. You could also use sweetened condensed oat milk. It also tastes great in chocolate peanut butter fudge with cocoa powder.
- Coconut milk: Adds a creamy texture. I used full-fat coconut milk. I do not recommend light coconut milk because it has more water content.
- Cacao powder (or cocoa powder): Adds a chocolate flavor.
- Vanilla extract: Enhances flavors.
- Salt: Enhances sweetness.
Peanut Butter Ice Cream
- Coconut milk: Adds a creamy texture. I used full-fat coconut milk. I do not recommend light coconut milk because it has more water content.

🔪 Instructions
Chocolate Ice Cream
Step 1: Heat some chocolate chips in a bowl over a simmering pot of water.
Step 2: Remove from the heat. Add sweetened condensed coconut milk, coconut milk, vanilla extract, cacao powder, and salt.
Step 3: Stir to combine.
Peanut Butter Ice Cream
Step 4: Heat some coconut milk on the stove. Remove from the heat. Add peanut butter, sweetened condensed coconut milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir.
Step 5: Freeze both until they are starting to solidify, then swirl the peanut butter ice cream with the chocolate.
💭 Tips
- Heat chocolate chips until melted and stir them constantly. Don't cook them past their melting point. They can become thick and lumpy.
- Also, don't let the simmering water touch the chocolate or it could seize up.
- Freeze both the chocolate ice cream and the peanut butter ice cream until thickened. That way you get a swirled ice cream.
- When you are ready to serve the chocolate peanut butter ice cream, let it sit out for 20-30 minutes to thaw out. It will be easier to scoop.
