    After you taste this sweet rich Cranberry Ice Cream you'll want to make it add it to your vegan Thanksgiving menu and have it year after year.

    This homemade ice cream will not leave a pucker in your mouth. There's a perfect balance of tart cranberries to sweet rich ice cream. In fact, you may even wonder if you are eating cranberries at all until you get a piece of one!

    Made in a food processor or blender, this no-churn ice cream is made in minutes. Top it with a drizzle of my Elderflower Simple Syrup recipe.

    Another no-churn ice cream is my Vegan Chocolate Chip Ice Cream recipe.

    Some other cranberry recipes for the holidays are Cranberry Apple Chia Jam and Cranberry Kombucha.

    Ingredients in a blender after blending.

    Step 2: Purée until smooth and creamy. Pour cranberry mixture into an airtight container and freeze.

    💭 Tips

    • If you don't want chunks of cranberry (like I have in mine), blend the cranberry mixture in a high-speed blender until the cranberry is totally broken down.
    • For serving, let the ice cream mixture thaw for about 15 minutes or so. It will be easier to scoop.
