Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream

Rich and decadent Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream made with only a handful of ingredients. Who knew making ice cream at home was so easy (and soooo good!)?

Do you own an ice cream maker? Okay, if I knew that homemade ice cream was so incredibly easy to make, I would’ve started making it ages ago. I actually borrowed by mom’s ice cream maker to make sure it’s an appliance I actually need. J and I moved into our new apartment in Toronto early March (and back to Canada last September) and my new kitchen is already splitting at the seams with kitchen gadgets and appliances. After a couple weeks of ice cream making, I’m convinced an ice cream maker is definitely worth the investment.

I mean look at that silky, creamy, fluffy and superrr chocolatey Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream. Just heavenly.

One thing I never do in my recipes is skimp on the chocolate. Because it’s good for you, my partner J is Belgian, and I’m a chocoholic. I used cacao powder in this Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream but a high-quality cocoa powder also works great. Cacao powder is a bit more expensive than cocoa powder but it is slightly less refined and the chocolate flavor is so just oh-so-rich and decadent. I love using it when I bake and it worked like magic in this homemade ice cream.

This Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream uses a few simple ingredients and is so easy to whip up you’ll wonder why you ever bothered with store-bought (and spending 9 dollars for a tub of vegan ice cream at the store!). And I LOVE hearing your feedback and seeing your lovely photos guys – if you make this Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream at home, snap a photo and tag me #CearasKitchen on Instagram.
