    You only need 3 ingredients to make this delicious banana and almond milk nice cream recipe.

    I ramped up the sweetness in my ice cream by adding almonds and chocolate chips. Chocolate chips and almonds are optional ingredients, but I recommend adding them—they're so delicious with the banana flavor!

    This Almond Milk Ice Cream recipe is...

    • Dairy-free
    • Naturally gluten-free 
    • Made with 3 ingredients
    • Kid-friendly

    And if you're feeling really ambitious, you can even make your own homemade almond milk to use with this recipe!

    How to Make Almond Milk Ice Cream 

    how to make almond milk ice cream collage
    1. Start by dicing your banana into cubes and freezing them. The bananas have to be frozen hard. 
    2. Toss frozen bananas in a food processor and add the nut butter and almond milk. Turn on and process together for 1–2 minutes. 
    3. Scrape the sides of the food processor. Continue to process and add milk a teaspoon at a time if the ice cream seems too thick. 
    4. Once blended, pour ice cream into bowls, then top with almonds and chocolate chips if you want. 
    5. Serve and enjoy!

    Tips & Tricks for Almond Milk Ice Cream

    Food Processor 

    Make sure to use a food processor. I have found that a blender will not blend your bananas well enough, unless it is a high-powered blender. You will find that a blender can't get the texture quite right. 

    Frozen Bananas 

    You have to start preparing this recipe with fully frozen diced bananas. If your bananas are not fully frozen, you will end up with a gummy, soupy mixture that doesn't have the texture or feel of ice cream. 

    Variations to Almond Milk Ice Cream

    Nut Butter 

    Use any type of nut butter you would like—cashew butter, peanut butter, etc. Just swap out the almond butter in the recipe for the nut butter flavor of your choice!

    Plant-Based Milk 

    If you don't want to use almond milk, feel free to replace it with any milk you prefer. Even a Lactaid-style milk will work if you are okay with dairy. 

    Toppings 

    Feel free to add on your favorite ice cream toppings! Sprinkles, drizzle of hot fudge, caramel sauce, etc—any and all are welcome on top of this delicious frozen dessert. Of course, if you prefer it plain, you can skip the toppings! 

    Almond Milk Ice Cream FAQs

    Can I save the ice cream for later? 

    You will want to eat this nice cream right after you make it! The texture will become harder in the freezer, so I recommend only making this ice cream right before you plan to eat it. You can store your leftover ice cream in the freezer, but just know that its texture will be firmer. 

    Can I sweeten this ice cream? 

    If this ice cream isn't sweet enough for you, feel free to add in some maple syrup, agave, or artificial sweetener of your choice. Taste, and then add more sweetener if needed.

      Left out the almonds, but doubled down on the chocolate chips. Loved it.
