This easy no-churn Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream is a rich and creamy treat! Made with sweetened condensed coconut milk to add sweetness.
This Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream is super rich and creamy. I would say it's venturing into fudgy brownie territory.
You won't find any bananas in this vegan ice cream. It is sweet and indulgent.
Did I mention that this chocolate ice cream is no-churn? It's true. There's no special equipment needed to make this sweet treat.
The real magic happens when you add the cacao powder. It adds a dark chocolaty flavor that rivals fudgy brownies.
Once you dip your spoon (or finger) in the mix, you'll be tempted to eat it then and there, like cookie dough.
You might want to hide it in the back of the freezer so that you can indulge in this heavenly dessert all by yourself. Just sayin'.
Eat it by itself or with my Raspberry Compote recipe. Add some walnuts and vegan marshmallows for some Vegan Rocky Road Ice Cream.
Other recipes to try are my Vegan Mint Shake, Vegan Coffee Ice Cream recipe, and Vegan Frozen Yogurt Chocolate Bites recipe.

Willow Moon says
Thanks Melanie! I don’t own an ice cream machine. (I don’t have room for another gadget!) The mint chocolate chip ice cream is definitely pinnable, it probably was taking awhile to load.
