After falling down the rabbit hole of no-churn homemade ice cream a while back, I was hooked on just how simple it can be. Since I'm sensitive to dairy, finding sweetened condensed coconut milk at the store was a genuine celebration moment.

This base recipe turns out with a texture closer to soft-serve, which honestly might be even better — no waiting for it to soften before diving in. My kids and I are huge Oreo fans, so this batch usually ends up packed with gluten-free Oreo chunks.

Ingredients

  • 14 oz. can sweetened condensed coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
  • 18 oz. dairy-free frozen whipped topping, thawed

Instructions

  1. 1Whisk together the sweetened condensed coconut milk and vanilla in a large mixing bowl.
  2. 2Fold in half of the whipped topping until well combined, then fold in the remaining whipped topping.
  3. 3Pour into a bowl, loaf pan, or quart container and stir in any mix-ins you like (cookies, chocolate chips, fruit, etc.).
  4. 4Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours to set.

Tips

  • This no-churn base comes together with a texture closer to soft-serve — no need to wait for it to soften before scooping.

Storage & Reheating

Needs at least 4 hours in the freezer to set before serving.
