I am a big fan of White Russians. I made a Vegan White Russian awhile back that I fell in love with. I like to use Kahlua Midnight instead of the original Kahlua, because it has a stronger taste and higher alcohol content.

So I thought, why not make a Vegan White Russian Ice Cream. This has more coconut milk than the cocktail, to keep it rich and creamy. This is truly an adult coconut vegan ice cream with a kick. It would work well in a cocktail float as well.

With Valentine’s Day a few days away, I thought this would be perfect timing to post this recipe. For those of you following me, you may have read that I am not the best at posting timely recipes. Not this time! I personally would love having this on Valentine’s Day.

My favorite way to eat this is with chocolate chips. The coffee liqueur, chocolate, and coconut are a perfect combination. Chocolate syrup would be good on this as well.

To make this Vegan White Russian Ice Cream, you don’t need an ice cream maker. Because this has creamy coconut milk and alcohol it is smooth and creamy. When I made Cucumber Mint Sorbet, I learned that adding a touch of alcohol makes the sorbet softer and easier to scoop.

I made this recipe several times with variations each time. The first time I added brewed coffee. It was only 1/4 cup, but it created ice crystals because of the water.

So I ended up using an instant coffee instead. You could use brewed coffee if you are using this in a float or slushy, but if you want a creamy ice cream texture, I would stick with instant coffee. It still is not as creamy as ice cream, but if you let it thaw slightly, and then mix it, it has a better texture.

Did you know that Kahlúa has coffee? It sounds delicious. I couldn’t find if it’s gluten free though.

Recipe Notes

Most celiac associations consider distilled spirits to be gluten-free, even if they contain gluten grains, because distillation breaks down the harmful gluten proteins. However, if you have celiac disease, I would still use caution.

If you are gluten free you may want to avoid coffee altogether. I personally have never had a problem drinking it, and I have a gluten intolerance. It is probably because I drink whole bean organic coffee, and grind it myself.

I learned after posting my Vegan Bulletproof Coffee from some readers on Facebook that it can be problematic for people who don't tolerate gluten. So I did some research and one article mentioned to try organic whole bean coffee because it isn't highly processed causing cross-reactivity issues.

So please do the research yourself, and test it out. I try to only post recipes that are 100% gluten free since I have a gluten intolerance. I am really careful about avoiding gluten in my daily life, so this was all news to me.

    • I decided long ago that I only have limited space in the kitchen – so only the necessary gadgets! So now all my frozen desserts need to be made sans the ice cream maker!

  5. Hey Willow, do you know approximately how much instant coffee is in one of those packs? I have a jar from TJ’s I use for cooking with so I have to measure it out. Thanks! This looks amazing!

    • Sorry, I forgot to include a measurement! It’s approx. 2 teaspoons, as I remember. Unfortunately, I don’t have the Starbuck’s brand right now, but I just measured another brand that I have, and it’s 2 teaspoons, which I am almost positive is what Starbuck’s was too. Also, the flavor may vary depending on which flavor you use as far as how strong of a coffee flavor you get.

  7. I have a friend that has an annual Big Lebowski watching party where everyone drinks White Russians. This year I think I’m going to have to try my hand at this recipe and bring it to the party! It looks like it would be a hit.
