How To Make Dairy Free Ice Cream
To make this dairy free ice cream you need 5 ingredients. Coconut milk, cashews, maple syrup, vanilla and Oreos of some type. Let’s first chat about coconut milk. First off, you need full-fat coconut milk, none of that light stuff for this homemade oreo ice cream. My go-to coconut milk to use is from Thai Kitchen. I have tried a ton of coconut milk over the years, and I always come back to Thai Kitchen. I find a lot of the other brands have a super grainy texture and that doesn’t go away when you blend everything together. The Thai Kitchen brand is smooth and so creamy. So if you are able to, use this brand.
Once the cashews are soaked, the coconut milk can cracked, the maple syrup poured and the cookies are chopped you are basically done. To make this vegan soft serve, blend everything together (except the cookies, we add these last). Blend everything on high until the mixture is smooth. Then add it to a springform pan. I find adding the springform pans to be the best practice to remove the frozen dairy free ice cream later on. Once added to a spring form pan, freeze the vegan soft serve for at least 2 hours. After two hours, the ice cream should be quite firm, but not completely solid. Add the soft serve back into the blender, and then add the chopped cookies. Pulse until the cookies are combined and the ice cream is a creamy, smooth texture. Then it is time to enjoy this homemade oreo ice crema right away. Your choice whether to share it or not!
If this oreo cookie ice cream freezes for longer than 2 hours, that is ok! If it is frozen solid, let it sit on the counter for about 20 minutes before following the above instructions. This will soften the mixture to be more along the lines of a vegan soft serve.

Homemade Oreo Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups raw cashews (soaked in very hot water for 30 minutes)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 can full fat coconut milk (400mL)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 9-10 oreo cookies
Instructions
- Place the cashews in a bowl, and cover the cashews with very hot water for at least 30 minutes. Once they have soaked for 30 minutes, drain the water and place the cashews in a high-speed blender.
- Add the maple syrup, coconut milk and vanilla to the blender as well. Blend until smooth. The ice cream will be on the thinner side. Add the blended ice cream to a springform pan. I like to freeze the ice cream in a springform pan because then it is easy to remove when we need to reblend it. Place in the freezer for at least 2 hours.
- After the 2-hour mark, release the springform pan and add the soft serve mixture back to the blender. You may need a tamper to help blend it again. Note: if you freeze it for longer than 2 hours, that's ok, you may just need to let it thaw a little before blending it.
- Cut up the Oreos/ KinniTOOS and add them to the blender. Then continue to blend lightly, while using the tamper (if needed) until the soft serve has turned into cookies and cream.
- Eat right away. If you end up refreezing it, let it sit out for at least 20 minutes before reblending it again. Basically any time you freeze it, you will need to re-blend it.
