Vegan S’mores Ice Cream (No Churn!) + VIDEO

A creamy vegan ice cream base packed with marshmallows, graham crackers, and a rich chocolate sauce, this dairy-free ice cream recipe is sure to win hearts over.

My vegan chunky monkey ice cream recipe has been one of my most popular posts this Summer, so I’m giving the people what they want…

Delicious and super easy vegan ice cream recipes.

Did I mention it’s no churn too? Yupp. No crazy kitchen appliance required!

What gives this vegan ice cream a velvety, creamy texture are two key ingredients – frozen bananas and coconut cream. Vegan banana ice cream, also known as nice cream is a healthier alternative to traditional ice cream.

How to make vegan chocolate fudge

• In a small saucepan, combine coconut milk, maple syrup, coconut oil, and cocoa powder together.
• Continuously whisk on low heat for about 10 minutes until sauce thickens.
• Remove from heat and let cool completely. The sauce should be thick and pourable.

I used this vegan chocolate fudge recipe to swirl into the ice cream. Pressed on time? Just skip this step and use dark chocolate chips instead!

Both the bananas and coconut milk need some prep work before making the recipe:

1. Slice bananas and let freeze overnight
2. Place can of coconut milk in the fridge to separate the cream from the liquid

These steps are crucial and cannot be skipped!

How to make no churn vegan ice cream

The BEST part about this recipe is no ice cream maker is required! You can get a delicious homemade vegan ice cream without buying another fancy kitchen appliance which is thumbs up in my book!

Put frozen banana slices, coconut cream, and maple syrup in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth.

Spread ice cream into a loaf pan or Tupperware container and stir in crushed graham crackers and marshmallows. Next, stir in chocolate sauce and lightly swirl.

Top with more crushed graham crackers and marshmallows (optional)

Note: Make sure not to over-swirl the chocolate sauce! If you do, the ice cream will turn into a more chocolate base, which isn’t a BAD thing, but I prefer a little fudgy swirl.

Ice cream can be eaten right away for a more soft serve texture or placed in the freezer for at least 3 hours to harden.

Couple things to note:

• Not all marshmallows are vegan! I like Dandie’s Vegan and Gluten-Free Marshmallows
• If you want a GF ice cream recipe, use gluten-free graham crackers

Serve in ice cream cones or in a dish with extra chocolate sauce. Either way, you’ll love the taste of this campfire treat in a vegan ice cream!

Prep:

To Make Chocolate Sauce:

To Make Ice Cream:

• Using a rubber spatula, scoop ice cream into loaf pan.

• Once chocolate sauce is cooled, spoon some on the top and lightly swirl with a butter knife.
• Top with more crushed graham crackers and marshmallows. Place in the freezer for at least 3 hours to harden.
• When ready to serve, remove from the freezer and let thaw for 20 minutes before scooping. Serve with extra chocolate sauce or in ice cream cones.

Notes

When a can of coconut milk is cold, the cream and liquid separate. Scoop out cream for the ice cream base and use the liquid to make the chocolate sauce!
