The instant mood enhancer and solution to midnight cravings, the faithful ice cream has been there for us all along. But we know that indulgence comes with a lingering sense of guilt and at the cost of our wellbeing. This is why we’ve prepared the perfect ice cream recipe that’s sugar-free, lactose-friendly and vegan.
Our recipe uses the goodness of coconut meat and coconut nectar to make healthy ice creams and help pastry chefs and home cooks create a practical dessert.
High in good fats and fibre, low in carbs and sugar – coconut meat is said to aid weight loss and stabilise blood sugar. Coconut nectar, on the other hand, is one of the most sought-after natural sweeteners with a relatively lower glycemic index as compared to its counterparts.
From the cream to the cone, here’s our answer to all ice cream-makers looking to boost their business and add to their list of ice cream recipes that work:
Vegan Chocolate and Vanilla Ice Cream
What you need
- 1 pound of Coconut Meat
- 2 cups Cashews soaked for 20 minutes
- 2 cups Coconut Water
- 1/4 cup Coconut Nectar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/3 cups Cacao
Step by step
- Start by simply opening one packet of hand-scooped Copra Coconut Meat (It is much easier than cracking open a mature coconut, removing the water and scooping out the coconut meat.)
- Blend the cashews and Copra's coconut meat at high speed, adding a little amount of Copra coconut water to smoothen it.
- Once you have a creamy mixture, add in the rest of the ingredients except for the cacao. Blend it all again.
- Pour half of the mixture into a glass bowl.
- Now, add the cacao to the remaining mixture and blend.
- Pour the chocolate ice creams into another glass bowl.
- Cover your chocolate and coconut ice cream bowls and let is set in the freezer.
- Stir the ice cream once every hour so that it does not freeze into a solid block.
- Your ice cream will be ready within 6 to 8 hours.
Vegan Ice Cream Waffle Cones
What you need
- 3/4 cup of blanched Almond Flour

- 1 Flax Egg (1 tablespoon of flax meal + 3 tablespoons of water)
- 2 tablespoons of Coconut Nectar
Step by step

- Spread 2 tablespoons of your batter into the waffle iron.
