This easy no churn recipe for a decadent Bounty Viennetta Ice Cream is much better than the classic shop-bought dessert. Vegan and dairy free this ice cream is just like the love child of Bounty Bars and Vienetta Ice Cream.
There is one single dessert that stands out in my mind when I think of my childhood - and that is Vienetta ice cream.
It was one of those rare, special occasion treats that we would occasionally buy when we had guests coming over to dinner.
If you've never experienced Vienetta ice cream, it is an ice cream cake consisting of alternate layers of creamy ice cream and chocolate.
I loved the contrast of the soft creamy vanilla ice cream to the firm chocolate that I'd relish cracking with my spoon. (Kind of like this Magic Shell!)
My Bounty Vienetta Ice Cream has all the hallmarks of the original Vienetta but is super simple to put together.
This no churn ice cream (i.e. doesn't require an ice cream maker) and is 100% dairy free and vegan.
With layers of creamy coconut ice cream and 70% cocoa chocolate, it is just like the love child of Bounty Bars and Vienetta Ice Cream. If you love both then you'll love this!!!
While you could simply scoop my Bounty Vienetta Ice Cream and serve it as a regular ice cream, it is a fabulous dinner party dessert.
Simply remove it from the tin and place it on a chopping board ready to slice and serve to your guests.
It's decadent, indulgent, creamy and utterly lick the bowl delicious.

I totally understand why your brother and you were able to agree on a dessert like this one! I have never heard of a vienetta ice cream, but it looks and sounds scrumptious! I can't wait to try it... Would cream of coconut be like the coconut condensed milk? I used one in my avocado sorbet.

I think Vienetta might have been an Australian thing. You can still buy them now, and while I could still eat dairy, we bought one a while ago and it was good but much sweeter than I remember. Anyway, on to your question about coconut condensed milk. Coconut condensed milk is where coconut milk is cooked to evaporate some of the water and then sugar is added to sweeten and reduce it into a sticky liquid. You can easily make it yourself and you can find plenty of recipes on the internet. Some people use sugar, others honey or maple syrup.

I miss Vienetta ice cream! They were one of my favorite treats from childhood. Sometimes I still look for them in the freezer section hoping to find one.

Vienetta's can be hard to come by. Hopefully, this might satisfy any cravings you might have until then 😀
