Description

This 4-ingredient, no-cook ice cream is ultra-creamy and completely dairy-free. Using a low-cholesterol egg product, sweetened condensed milk, liquid nondairy creamer, and pure vanilla, you’ll churn out scoopable vanilla ice cream in under 30 minutes of active work—perfect for allergy-friendly entertaining.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup Low-cholesterol egg product (Such as Egg Beaters®)
  • 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
  • 2 cups Liquid nondairy creamer (Unsweetened plain variety)
  • 1 Tbsp Pure vanilla extract
  • As needed Rock salt & ice (If using traditional ice-and-salt ice cream maker)

Instructions

Whisk the Base:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the egg product and granulated sugar. Whisk vigorously for 1 minute until the sugar is mostly dissolved and the mixture is slightly frothy.

Add Creamer & Flavor:

  1. Pour in the nondairy creamer and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and uniform—no lumps.

Churn:

  1. Transfer the base to your ice cream maker.
  2. Freezer-bowl machines: Ensure the bowl has been frozen solid (per manufacturer’s directions) before adding.
  3. Traditional machines: Pack ice and rock salt around the canister.
  4. Churn for 20–30 minutes, or until the mixture reaches a soft-serve consistency.

Ripen:

  1. Spoon the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container.
  2. Press plastic wrap or parchment directly onto the surface to prevent ice crystals.
  3. Freeze for at least 2 hours (up to 4 hours) until firm and scoopable.

Notes

  • For best results, use a high-quality vanilla extract.

  • Stir in mix-ins (dairy-free chocolate chips, fruit swirls) during the last 5 minutes of churning.

  • Store airtight in the freezer for up to 1 week.

  • If you prefer a firmer texture, extend ripening to 4 hours.

  • Market Insight: Demand for plant-based frozen desserts continues to surge—this recipe offers both simplicity and creaminess to meet modern dietary needs.
