Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 350 g peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
- 400 ml oat milk (or other non-dairy milk)
- 120 ml pure maple syrup
- 120 g vegan yogurt (soy or coconut yogurt work well)
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Add all the ingredients to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend for a couple of minutes until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If the mixture appears lumpy or split, continue blending until it emulsifies.
- Churn in Ice Cream Machine: Transfer the blended mixture to an ice cream machine and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 30 to 40 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Freeze: Transfer the churned ice cream mixture to a loaf pan. Cover it with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for a minimum of 2 hours to firm up.
- Store Properly: Store the ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months to maintain freshness and texture.
- Serve: Remove the ice cream from the freezer about 15 minutes before serving to allow it to soften slightly. Use a hot wet ice cream scoop for easy serving.
- Optional Toppings: Serve with melted chocolate, strawberry or raspberry coulis, jam, vegan whipped cream, vegan Nutella, vegan caramel sauce, crushed roasted peanuts, or healthy date caramel for added flavor.
Notes
- Use any non-dairy milk if oat milk is not available.
- The type of vegan yogurt (soy or coconut) will affect the final taste and creaminess.
- If you don’t have an ice cream machine, you can freeze the mixture in a container and stir every 30 minutes until firm for a no-churn version.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup according to your preference.
- To avoid ice crystals, ensure the mixture is well emulsified before churning and freezing.
- Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before scooping for best texture.
