Oat milk ice cream is a creamy, dairy-free frozen dessert made with oat milk. It’s perfect for anyone seeking a plant-based, lactose-free treat without sacrificing texture or flavor.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups unsweetened oat milk (preferably full-fat or barista-style)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar or maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil or neutral oil (optional, for added creaminess)
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • Optional add-ins:
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder or 1/2 cup melted chocolate
  • 1/2 cup fruit purée (e.g., strawberries or mango)
  • 1 tbsp instant espresso powder
  • 1/3 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together oat milk, sugar (or maple syrup), and salt.
  2. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with 3 tbsp of the oat milk mixture to create a slurry.
  3. Heat the saucepan over medium heat until the mixture is hot but not boiling.
  4. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook, stirring constantly, for 5–7 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and coconut oil (if using).
  6. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for 2–4 hours until well chilled.
  7. Pour into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually 20–30 minutes).
  8. Transfer to a freezer-safe container, cover, and freeze for at least 2 hours until firm.
  9. Let sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping for best texture.

Notes

Use full-fat oat milk for the creamiest results.Coconut oil helps mimic the mouthfeel of traditional ice cream.Customize with flavorings like cocoa, fruit, or coffee for variety.If you don’t have an ice cream maker, freeze the mixture in a shallow container and stir every 30 minutes for 2–3 hours.Add mix-ins like chocolate chips or cookie pieces during the last few minutes of churning or before final freezing.
