Oatmilk Ice Cream

Just a heads up that this is a unique ice cream recipe in that it will not dramatically increase in size or amount while churning. Traditional ice creams made with dairy products churn a good bit of air into the mixture throughout the process.

The oatmilk in this recipe does not churn air into the mixture in the same way, resulting in a very rich and creamy frozen treat more similar to a custard-based gelato than classic ice cream.

Because of this, the ice cream will become quite firm after a few hours in the freezer. You’ll want to allow the ice cream to warm at room temperature for 10-20 minutes before scooping.

  1. In a large saucepan, combine the oat milk, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt in a saucepan. Whisk to combine and then heat over medium heat, stirring continually, until it comes together and begins to steam and simmer. If you wish, you may increase the heat, but continue stirring non-stop. Do not step away at this point.
  2. Stir in the chocolate chips and vanilla. Continue stirring or whisking, until the chocolate is fully incorporated into the mixture. Remove from the heat, cool, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until completely cold.
  3. Process according to your machine’s instructions. Serve immediately for soft serve ice cream or transfer to a freezer safe storage container and freeze until ready to serve.
