Oat Milk Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 2 cups store-bought or homemade oat milk
- 1/2 cup nut butter of choice, or allergy-friendly sub
- 1/3 cup sweetener of choice
- 1/4 + 1/8 tsp salt
- optional add ins (see earlier in this post for flavor ideas)
Instructions
- *If you don’t have an ice cream maker or high-speed blender, see these directions.Whisk all ingredients together. If using an ice cream maker, pour the mixture in and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your specific machine. Or if you have a high-speed blender like a Vitamix, pour into ice cube trays and freeze, then blend the ice cubes until smooth, using the tamper to blend evenly. Either serve straight from the machine or freeze up to an hour for a firmer texture. Because of the lack of preservatives, homemade ice cream is best the day it’s made, although you can technically freeze up to a month and thaw before serving.View Nutrition Facts

Mint chocolate chip all the way! I’m curious, for this recipe, do you recommend the “sweetener of choice” be a solid, like granulated sugar, or liquid, like maple syrup? Does it matter?
Jason Sanford says
Honestly does not matter! Regular sugar will dissolve so liquid or granulated sweeteners both work well 🙂
Blythe says
Thank you Jason! I really appreciate how nice and patient you are with everyone’s questions about all the lovely recipes on this wonderful blog, and I’ll be sure to try this one out soon! (I just had some Coconut Curry for lunch, it was great and so easy to make!)
Jason Sanford says
No problem, and thank you again!
Cynthia says
What type of sugar for this recipe do you use? So excited to try this recipe!
Jason Sanford says
Honestly, you have a ton of options here, so use your favorite! Coconut sugar, maple syrup, regular sugar or brown sugar, erythritol if you’re sugar-free, agave, date sugar… etc!
Adriana says
Could I make this with macadamia milk instead?
Jason Sanford says
Yes!
Jennifer says
Thoughts on a strawberry flavor? Just add strawberries, or do you think more is required?
Jason Sanford says
This is from her almond milk ice cream post, but oat milk ice cream should be similar! “Strawberry: Use only 1 1/2 cups almond milk in the recipe. Add 1/2 cup mashed strawberries, and use a neutral nut butter such as raw cashew or coconut butter. Stir in 1/2 cup diced strawberries if desired just before serving.”
Steph says
Is it possible to leave out the nut butter for a vanilla flavor? I dont have coconut butter at my store, and I’m thinking sunflower butter is too oily?
Jason Sanford says
It really needs some kind of fat, or it will be ice milk, not ice cream. You could do coconut milk ice cream without nut butter though: https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/coconut-ice-cream-recipe/
🍰🎂🍨🥥 says
Can I use whole milk instead???🥛
Jason Sanford says
Sure, most types of milk will work here.
ant says
Could I use cream of coconut instead of the nut butter, or tahini, or is there anything else? I only have peanut butter and I think that would be too strong of a flavor.
CCK Media Team says
Cream of coconut would work! https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/coconut-ice-cream-recipe/
