    Nothing says the holidays like gingerbread. This no-churn Gingerbread Ice Cream has all the flavors of gingerbread cookies but in ice cream form.

    After making this easy recipe you may want to retire the cookie recipes! Made in a blender or food processor, it couldn't be any easier.

    Some other gingerbread recipes to try are my Christmas Chia Pudding, Gingerbread Peanut Butter, Gingerbread Hummus, Gingerbread Energy Bites, and Vegan Gingerbread Truffles.

    Other ways to put that bottle of blackstrap molasses to good use is some Vegan Molasses Hot Chocolate or a Gingerbread Granola recipe.

    🧾 Ingredients

    Ingredients on a cutting board with labels.
    • Coconut milk: Make sure to use full-fat coconut milk. It adds a creamy consistency and rich flavor. The light coconut milk will be too watery for this.
    • Sweetened condensed coconut milk: Adds a sweet rich flavor and creamy consistency.
    • Cinnamon, ground ginger, allspice, nutmeg: Warming spices found in gingerbread.
    • Molasses: I used blackstrap molasses because of its dark rich flavor.
    • Vanilla extract: Enhances flavors.
    • Salt: Brings out the sweetness.

    This is an overview of the ingredients. To see the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
